Just bought a D. nobile and don't want a repeat performance on this one.
Ideas?
Many Dendrobium only bloom on the old growth canes.

I have not been very successful with D. nobile. I recently read on this forum a comment that they need to be explosed to cold temps in the winter to trigger blooming. Overnight lows are below 50 in their native habitat. I will leave them out next winter (Cen Fl) and see if that does the trick. Good luck with this one.
