Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: A Dendrobium from the section Latouria, native to Papua New Guinea. It is easy to grow in intermediate conditions (60-85 °F). Most latourias like a rest during the winter, however this species seems to grow well without one. Appreciates bright light. Can be grown potted or on slabs.
Comments: The capsule parent plant had slightly smaller, more colorful blooms, and the pollen parent plant
had larger, less colorful blooms. The flower structure
was the same for both despite the size difference.
Pod parent plant: It is a graceful plant with 3-4 leaves at the end of slender pseudobulbs. Plants stand approximately 18 inches tall. They bear up to seven long-lasting flowers per inflorescence.

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. |
