Question:

Jackie, If the "stems" that you refer to are the spikes that bore the flowers, then you can cut them off if you wish.  Use a fresh single edged razor blade for the sake of sanitation, and discard the blade when you’re through.  However, do not cut down the canes, unless they become soft or rotted, which is unlikely.  Even if the canes lose all their leaves, you can get new flower spikes on the bare canes.  Enjoy your Den!

Hi ther recieved my first orchid from my husband on the 29th of January and so far it is doing well.  Some of the flowers have fallen off on the one stem and the other is starting to die off now. My question is do I cut those stems back when the flowers have died off or just leave them there I have a Dendrobium Thank sure could use the help jackie
