The genus Dendrobium (Den) contains 1200 species from all parts of Asia and the Pacific. Some like a dry winter rest, all like to dry out between watering. Flowers are long lasting.
Dendrobium lindleyi grows from India to Vietnam. It is warm to hot growing and needs a dry winter rest. As the flowers mature, the color deepens.
I am very happy about having this plant bloom. I don't do well with Dendrobiums in general and the 'dry winter rest' Dendrobiums in particular. I have had a hard time with just how dry that is.
It turns out it means no water at all. I have a problem emotionally with not watering a plant and physically, since my greenhouse is quite wet.
