So today, i was taking a bag off from around my dendrobium. i had three big spikes and now it has two i broke the third one :'(

[quiltingwacko]

Well, it could be worse...... Carol

[Call_Me_Bob]

yes, i guess you are right....but i just cant beleive i did that

[Junebug]

Phal type Dendrobiums will sometimes send out a replacement spike on the same cane within a few days to a couple of weeks. Watch for bumps at nodes near the tip or right beside the base of the broken spike. You might get lucky if you have a Phal type. I don't know if this happens with the deciduous varieties.

i think its a phal type, i think that has been the verdict from other threads. either a phal type, or a den. phal. V den. antelope

Ohh geez, been there, done that one a couple of times - It doesn't get easier either lol!!!!!
It really really could be worse though.
Congrats on the spikes you saved.

I'm always so worried I will do that. I haven't yet but really it's just a matter of time before I do.

I did drop my Den loddigesii on the floor this morning... bark flying everywhere. Luckily I think the plant is OK, but I swore loudly... and I'm not someone who swears except with extreme provocation.

[Call_Me_Bob]

that stinks

It does happen to most of us at one point or another. At least it was not your only spike on that plant.
