I love Dendobium, and for the first couple of years, I did what many do when they start out. I over watered in the winter. Since I cut back to just a light misting occasionally in the winter, and no fertilizer, I've been more successful in getting them to bloom. All need a rest and reduced water in the winter, but some more so than others. Also, I believe I've done better with cane orchids mounted, rather than potted or in a basket. You will find the Baker's book, Vol 2, that's specific to Dendrobium, a great aid, if you can find one.
