Dendrobium parishii 'MC2204' × self
 
 
 
 
Number: TN3887
Name: Dendrobium parishii 'MC2204' × self
Type: self    (What's that?)
Seed Donor: Zachary Bittner
 
No Photos Available
 
 
Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Very easy to grow species. Needs lots of water and fertilizer in the summer and fall. Hold back on the water in winter months--no fertilizer--and provide very bright light. It will go deciduous and drop its leaves. After a dry rest flowers emerge from along bare canes in spring.
 
Comments: Parent plant: Progeny of a semi-alba cross, however this particular offspring (F2 generation) is the regular purple in color. Small plant. Faithful bloomer. Fragrance of raspberries.
