What's Happening' to my Dendro

[Dollythehun]

Understood. You'll get the hang of it. But 6 days seems long. I am in clay and bark that makes it hard to over water.

Be sure to share pics once they open, I have a few rescued plants that are about to open, can't wait to see how they look......oh don't forget to tie your shoes

Thanks... and oh not to worry feet are not in there

Your plant is very young and probably does not have enough strength to maintain buds. commercially we cut these buds off to encourage growth rather than have the plant waste strength that would be better used for growing. If you like seeing a few flowers than go ahead and keep them on the plant. It still will gt better every year.

Interesting dilemma, unsure of which road to choose.
...Any way thank you very, very much Jerry!

Ok another drop last night making my decision for the plants strength a little easier.
Where do I cut?... buds or whole spike?

[flexdc]

You can cut the entire spike if you like
In my experience, it really doesn't matter
Or you can let it be and see if one might open for you

Now the upper leaves are darkening. Sunburn? I have been leaving in my southern window for the last 2 months during the daytime.

Yes, likely due to sun. Purplish tinge is OK. Yellowing or browning not.

Could the sunlight in this window have become too strong now that we're here in February in NY? I notice a purplish tinge to my Cattleya also.

I place 2 Catts and 2 Dendros each a.m. into this south window before leaving for work, they sit there all day along with 3 hanging Vandas ( I know quite a crowd ).
