and there's another bump under.

thank you.

my guess is a bud, looks like another coming out on the other side. Good luck

:clap: New buds...happy plants! :clap:

thank you so much! you gave me confidence that am doing it right. at least i know i have a green thumb somewhere. :blushing:

hm... I see the zooming feature doesn't work on inline attachments. Back to the drawing board

EDIT: Zooming feature now fixed for inline attachments :cheer:

"after shedding all the leaves..."

:shock: This is a normal event?? I don't think I could endure an orchid that was all nekid - even temporarily! :shock:

ahahaha "naked"...nice term for an orchid

Yes, soft cane dendrobium get naked often and then send out buds on the 'nekkid' canes and sometimes keiki's. Marion

Well if mine ever get a flower at least now I know what it starts to look like. Great growing!

My guess will depend on you growing conditions. What temperature do you keep it at? How do you water it? At this stage this bud can become a flower or keiki very easily and everything depends on you now.
