OH MY!!!! Now that, Sun RM is what I call a real nobile Dendrobium. I knew that the majority of the newer hybrids do not require the cool temps, but wasn't sure about the water. I ask this question last fall and can't remember now what the consensus was. Anyway, I flushed them good with plain tap water and then quit watering. I expected all of them to be decidious but was surprised when some didn't lose so much as a single leaf! Ironically, I had a seedling of Dendrobium primulinum that I did water all winter and it shed it's leaves right along with the ones here that lost their leaves. Must be that day/night length and/or temperature differential plays an important part.
Once again, the pictures are fantastic!!
