Pruning unscented dendrobium — FAQ
When should I prune unscented dendrobium?
After flowering finishes; cane removal only once fully dead. Cut spent flower spikes as close to the cane as possible using sterile tools. Leave old canes standing until fully shrivelled — they can re-bloom in subsequent seasons.
How often does unscented dendrobium need pruning?
Annually after flowering; dead cane removal as needed. Dendrobium anosmum needs minimal pruning. After flowering, remove spent flower spikes by cutting close to the cane. Do not remove old canes immediately after bloom — they continue to photosynthesize and feed the plant. Only cut away a cane once it has fully yellowed, shrivelled, and died back naturally.
