Did I just make a mistake when I stripped all the old leaf sheaths from my Dendrobium canes? They look a lot prettier, and now the green canes must be photosynthesizing (sp?) as well as the leaves....?Right?

yes
normally we dont bother removing the dried sheaths
It doesn't matter if you remove the old sheaths, or not.I have a habit of removing them on my cattleyas. It just makes it easier to check on pests, or what not.
It was a bother to remove them but as long as I didn't do any harm it's ok. They look better and I only have two dens.
it is so hard to remove sheaths on dends! They are always stuck on.
