Rescued Dendrobium 'Hollywood'
Long story short...helping my brother move in to his new house and on his front porch is an obviously dead Phal in a plastic pot...in the bushes on the other side of the door, I spot another Orchid lying on the ground sideways, my newbie eye spotting new growth on shriveled up parent stalks, picked it up...identified it as a Dendro...with 2 small Keiki sprouting from the canes....yup so, my question is...should I try and Sphag and Bag this poor thing, or remove the Keiki and try and set them, even though the roots are barely and inch long...I dont have much hope for the parent plants as the root system is pretty much toast and the largest cane (there are 2) is very brown at the base...also, tucked way down in the brick hard moss it was set in was an ID tag, hence the 'Hollywood' mentioned in the title of this thread...if you have any suggestions, please respond...thanks in advance
