Dying Dendrobium

I thought I noticed a new cane starting to form at the base in the picture too.

Yeah, there is a new growth but decided to stay dormant including the new spike that is now turning brown on the tip. I skipped watering this week and hopefully it recovers if watering them too often is what's causing the problem. Otherwise, I don't know what else to do.

Thanks,

I have a leaf tip on a new cane that is turning brown. So I too am looking for ideas. Orchid-man provided this link regarding dendrobiums in an old post (5-11-2006) that is interesting. It appears to be a research article.

I believe that Dendrobiums do not like repotting if their roots have not restarted into growth after their (winter) rest - assuming they require a rest. The reference to sulking may therefore be approppriate under these circumstances.

I agree Gin there does seem to be a new growth at the soil line. I just want to weigh-in on the watering factor. During the winter I had my dends inside and watered 1x a week and they looked awful! Now they are out under 70% shade cloth, getting rained on almost every day and they are growing like crazy. Go figure!
