My oldest dendrobium, which was a phalaenopsis type, got frozen by accident from a overnight frost. A soft cane dendrobium also died when I moved to my new house (too little light, stress and forgot to water):-(. I'm jealous because my grandma was able to bloom her phalaenopsis dend which was the same clone that we bought for her. BTW it was her first orchid too! She's lucky though because she has a small glass house growing area built into her house.

I recently bought a variegated dendrobium moniliforme and a soft cane dend hybrid (one of those who don't need as extreme winter treatment as regular nobile hybrids). Hopefully I will be more lucky. I see little growth right now. I dont know if its a keiki or bud. I shouldn't have any problems providing cool temps because my windowsill gets really cool in the winter.
...still waiting to bloom my own dend....
