Dendrobium aggregatum

Aggregatum is not going to flower this year I'm pretty sure. We had it at the greenhouse, but didn't put the do not water tag on it until December because we kept forgetting. It was still getting watered though because it would be really easy to miss the tag or accidentally spray it along with all the others around it. We brought it home so it could dry out, and the very next week I noticed it was putting on new vegetative growth. No flowers for us this year because we messed it up. We decided to just water it and fertilize it and let it grow this winter, and hope for twice as many flowers next spring. It seemed like it would be too late to get it to flower if it's already making new growths since it normally flowers before it starts growing. We should have stopped watering it when it stopped growing earlier in the fall, but it wasn't Thanksgiving yet. Goes to show we should listen to what our plants are telling us rather than arbitrary dates. I think we will need to repot it soon. It's getting crowded in there!
