Dendrobium leaves not growing…help!

[Ingrid76]

Hey Everyone,

This is my first time posting, but I have to admit, I’m a frequent visitor to this board. Your knowledge has been extremely helpful in answering many of my questions, so I’m sure your advice for my current dilemma will be invaluable.

My Den (not sure of the species) is not growing new leaves. I’m not sure if it needs more light, humidity, or if this species doesn’t grow more. I have noticed from the keikis that have sprouted, that they only grow larger without continuing to add additional leaves. Is there a way to encourage new leaf growth? I have lost most of the leaves to sunburn. My apartment windows are all west facing (I use sheer curtains now to combat afternoon sun).

Another reason for my concern is recently I had to repot due to a mold infection. The roots were ok, but I had seen them in better shape. I sprayed them with hydrogen peroxide and cinnamon. It’s been a week since the repotting and everything looks ok, but I’m eager to see new growth both in the roots and leaves. Any suggestions???

Thanks
