(I might make an exception for those that are clearly done with blooming if I have a large plant with lots of more substantial canes, but to get to that point takes multiple years, by which time one has a good idea of what has potential to be productive and what doesn't) There are so many that look dead at some parts of the year but aren't, so I also don't dump a dead-looking Dendrobium until it has stayed really dead for a year or so.

Orchid board is such an amazing source of information and knowledge. I currently have a Nobile who is in bud on an old cane, it is the first time I have experienced this and I thought I was magic… apparently not
