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.

Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.

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. |
