Culture Notes from Donor: Dendrobium rigidum grow well mounted or in small pots.
Parent plants: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Can be mounted with good humidity, but I grow it in a small pot.
Comments: Dendrobium rigidum bloom throughout the year, and are fragrant.
Pod parent plant: This is a comparatively short leafed (1-1.5 inch) cultivar. The petals are a creamy white color.
Pollen parent plant: This miniature may bloom occasionally throughout the year on multiple spikes. Interesting succulent foliage, and scented blooms. This is a comparatively short leafed (1.5-2 inch) cultivar. The flower petals have a tinge of pink, and are fragrant. Grows in a clump habit. This floriferous plant has had as many as 11 flowers per spike.

| 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: |
213 plants (based on flask surveys done 06/16/2003 )
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 10 - 20 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 11/11/2003 through 11/24/2003)
From one most recently surveyed flask 10 - 20 mm (11/24/2003)

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Australia and New Guinea. Plants are widespread and common
in New Guinea, where they usually grow on mangroves in swampy coastal
lowlands from sea level to 2300 ft. (0-700 m). In Australia, plants are
found from the Russell River to the tip of the Cape York Peninsula. They
commonly grow in mangrove swamps but are also found on trees along creeks
and on rock faces and ironbark trees in low mountains and dry savannas,
sometimes considerably inland from the coast.
