Here's the answer to your gardening question...

You asked:

When is the best time to prune a bamboo orchid?

Our Advice:

Prune Dendrobium orchids between November and May, depending on which one it is. After flowering the older stems which carried flowers are usually cut down low as new stems replace them. Repot when the pot is full of roots.
