Dendrochilum gracile

[theorchidapartment]

When I received this Dendrochilum gracile last year, most of its new growths were rotting. It's taken a while to bounce back, but here are my rewards!

Great work. What is your culture?

Thanks! This is growing in my fridgarium, so high humidity, medium light, and a day temp of around 67°F with a 10°F dip for 6 hours at night. I give the sphag a daily misting by hand.

Thanks, Roberta! Making an effort on the photo front so I appreciate it. Had to doctor out the cat hairs on the black shirt I used as a backdrop! Ah, cats...

Not as bad as discovering a thrip that wasn't noticed until the photo was displayed in high resolution on the big screen... sometimes it can be Photoshopped out and sometimes it's too prominent and I have to start over...

Oh no!!! I have definitely noticed things in pictures I didn't see in person, but fortunately no thrips so far, knock wood.

Beautiful waterfall of blooms. I don't have this species but my others are popping blooms as well. Wow foto.
