Dendrobium pseudoconanthum is one of the least known "antelope dendrobiums" (Section Spatulata). It has never been in general cultivation, and had never been photographed prior to July 2004. Plants are similar in habit to other antelope dendrobiums; stems are very large (up to 230 cm long) but the base is not particularly swollen. Stem colour is almost black. Each stem produces up to 9 inflorescences. Inflorescences reach up to 37 cm long with up to 15 flowers. Very large plant. |
| Donor's culture notes: |
W (70-90°F); Dendrobium pseudoconanthum is found in grassland regions of Sulawesi, where it grows on exposed solitary trees and (less commonly) on emergent trees in riverine forest. The climate is: heavy rain during the monsoon, which normally starts in October/November and ends in March or April, and mostly dry for the rest of the year, with light rain once or twice a fortnight and mist or dew on 2-3 mornings per week. Temperatures during the dry season: the early-morning low is usually about 20°C, rarely as low as 17°C, and the mid-afternoon maximum is usually around 32°C, rarely reaching 36°C. Temperatures during the monsoon would be several degrees cooler. Humidity is high in early morning but drops rapidly during the day. Light levels are extremely high and the plants receive full sun or only the slightest possible shade. These grasslands are windy, with a warm breeze blowing constantly during the day. |
