Inconsistent info on dendrobiums in S/H
I am confused by the varying info I find regarding how to care for dendrobium kinganium. I purchased my first-ever den. this past spring. It was just s few canes, but quickly took off in the leca. I grow it with my phals under natural color led grow lights . The problem is that it's put out only keikis, with one tiny flower, and that one flower will not open up. The seller told me I have to put it where the temps are around 40 degrees, for several mths. I live in Vermont, and keep my house temps at 60 thru the winter-so I placed it in a closed off room (no heat) and the temps stay around 45-50 degrees. He said it's producing multiple keikis and no flowers because it's too warm at 60 degrees. Well, it's been several weeks and still no change. I've allowed the water in the reservoir to dry (no water was also suggested) but I'm now reading that I shouldn't have it in such cold conditions. I have stopped fertilizing, and when I do rewet the medium, I use only the ro water I make myself. ?????
