My first Dendrobium
I bought a half dozen baby orchids at a show in April. The price was right, but I may have gotten in over my head as a beginner orchid hobbyist. So far I've only managed to kill one, but I'm not sure what to expect with such young plants.
This is my first Dendrobium. Since bringing it home, it's grown a happy looking new bulb. My question is, when plants are this young, should I expect flowers to arrive with a new pseudobulb? And do all pseudobulbs grow flowers, or are they hit and miss?
I keep this plant with all the others, about two feet away from an East window. The plant sits in an improvised humidity tray and is watered just before the moss dries out, every ten days or so, and fertilized three out of every four waterings. I haven't changed the potting mix since purchasing the plant in April.
Thanks for taking the time to read my question!
