Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). These dendrobiums like being underpotted.
Comments: Pod parent plant: Medium-sized plant. They bloom reliably each winter with very long lasting inflorescences and often on old canes as well. The plant had been "lost " to cultivation for nearly a century... finally rediscovered and named for the wife of R. Schlecter. Still not seen often enough in collections. From the New Guinea lowlands.

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. |
