    Default My dendrobium Mingles sapphire...

    Hello I am new to this forum and am a amateur orchid grower and seem to be doing quite well however I have a den mingles sapphire that has bloomed already this year and i was wondering if you cut the flower stem like you do on phaleanopsis orchids? I would like to make sure i am doing the bloom care correctly. I appreciate your help. thank you...
