Pod Parent Flowers
 
 
Culture Notes from Donor: Requires a very dry rest in winter to assure numerous blooms instead of numerous keikis.
Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). This species requires a dry, bright winter rest, and must be kept dry until actual flower buds develop. If you can do this, you will be rewarded with a plentiful display of pink blooms. If watered too soon, keikis will form instead of flowers.
 
Comments: An easy to grow Dendrobium with approximately 6-inch semi-pendant canes.

Parent plant: Small plant. This plant is being grown in a 6 inch bulb pan (shallow pot). Canes are about 8 inches long, and grow horizontally to pendant, so hanging the pot makes for good display. Plant forms a cascading mat.

Flask Information
Availability: We have sold all of the flasks for this item.
You should: Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.

You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.

You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had.
Yield Estimate: 390 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/24/2002 )
Yield estimates are only approximate, but may appear to be fairly exact numbers because they are a combination of large rough estimates in remaining mother flasks and more accurate small estimates in reflasks.
Plantlet Sizes: From many flasks 15 - 30 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 08/06/2003 )
From one most recently surveyed flask 15 - 30 mm (08/06/2003)
