Hi everyone,can anyone tell me why my spring dream `apollon` dendrobium has only flowered one flower on the very top of the oldest cane.it sits in the conservatory so gets enough light, and is fed with an orchid drip feeder.

Just wondering if your dendrobium has been repotted recently? Only know about 'moth orchids' really. Mine usually bloom again, on the kitchen window ledge, and most have been repotted.

Aside from only having one flower it is looking fine and healthy so I wouldn't worry too much.

Orchid has been repotted recently,compost has been refreshed,roots seem to look very healthy so I guess I`ll wait and see what happens.thanks for your advise.

I take it you used orchid compost when you repotted?
