Do you have pictures of the plants with when they had blooms? Please post them, because somebody with knowledge about that particular variety may be able to help. The wrinkled leaves may be from not watering them enough?

Welcome to Orchid Board

The first thing with any wrinkling is to check the roots. However a Palchid said pictures would help us with a better diagnosis. Take a look at my signature for how to post pictures, although some of the methods need 5 posts before you can.

Many dendrobiums need a dry(ish) winter rest period before they will flower. It's possible yours need this and haven't been getting it, but without knowing what kind of dendrobium, it's hard to say for sure.

Default wrinkled leaves

Have a new bag of orchid mix and will re pot them today. I have a feeling they were over watered. Now that the temperatures are warmer at night, is it a good idea to leave them out. (55 degrees )

thanks

Depends what type of Dendrobiums they are. Some of the tropical ones will not be happy in less than 60 degree temps.

Agreed, it depends on the type of Den. Some of mine have been down to 40 regularly over the winter, others I have kept above 60. It all depends on the type of dendrobium. This is a really big Genus.

Again if you are not sure what type of Dendrobiums you have it might help to post pictures. See the link in my signature for help on that.

Pictures, please!

Dendrobium is a large group of orchids of a few thousand different plants.
You have to know what kind of dendrobium you have before you can give proper care.

You mentioned it used to flower for you.
How did you care for it in the past? Have you made any changes in the way you care for it since?
