This is my first ever Dendrobium. I've had it for a year now. It had about ten flowers last year when I bought it, and I don't even know how many are on there now, but it's a lot haha. I'm kind of impressed by how many blooms it has, and how nice they are. I don't feel like I did anything special; it must just like the weather here. It was outside in almost full sun from April until nearly December.
Everything I've read said that these plants should have a dry winter rest while they are between the growth and flowering phase, but mine never stopped growing, so I never stopped watering. The new growths start before the previous canes are even completely hardened, and it has had two new growths from every single cane. It produced two sets of canes (two, and then four) last year. I watered it less when it was outside in the fall, but only because it dried out more slowly. It never appeared to be at rest.
The flowers are much more pink than they were last year, and it has a lovely fragrance. I didn't notice any fragrance last year, but it's quite strong now.
I think I need some more Dendrobiums
