I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Very nice! Was it in spike when you got it? If not, could you tell me how you grow it to get the male flowers? I have the same species that's flowered every fall for the last three years, but I've only gotten female flowers so far. They're beautiful as well, and the smell is good too. But I would like to see if I can do something in order to get the male flowers instead this fall--if for no other reason than to compare the scent to that of the female flowers. Thanks!

No, it was a junior plant. I believe that you should reduce the light levels. And perhaps put a less more of fertilizer. Big and well fed plants tend to think that it's a good strategy to be female and the others to be male.
So, if the plant has less energy it will tend to be male. (please, ladies, no jokes )
At least it seems to be so by what I read and experience. |
