care for Yellow Tsuden X Charee Mary Caine

[cattjenn]

Hi all,
I am thinking of buying this dendrobium. Is this a hardcane type? Does it need a rest during winter like a a dendrobium anosmum?(I have one of those.)
Anyone know? Thank you ahead of time!

Hi cattjenn, shame you've had no replies on this. I have tried searching for info for you and have not found anything. I hope if I bump this thread someone may know more.

Hi RosieC,
Hi!
That was nice of you for looking. Thank you!
I've tried googling but can find no info. I dont have the software to find it in a registry, if that is possible.

I use a couple of online registers, but they don't have pics or care information... more just confirm the existance of certain orchids and the parents of hybrids.

Yours is a cross between two other hybrids. The cross has not been registered, but one of it's parents HAS been registered. The link below is to the 'International Orchid Register'

Yellow Tsuden

There is no registration for Charee Mary Caine, but there IS one for Mary Caine (and it's a Dendrobium). Not sure if there is a mistake in your name or not.

Mary Caine

The other reigster I use is 'The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families' which can confirm the registration of a species (and tell you if the name has been changed to something else as many of them keep changing).

For more info about the culture of a particular orchid you need something like OrchidWiz which some people here have, but I'm afraid I don't. I usually just try and find it in Google or Bing searches and see what I can find, but there is no sign of this one.

Hi Rosie,
Thanks again for the information!
It looks like it has already been purchased.(Ebay)
I think it was a hardcane den, and would need a winters rest, dry and cool, etc, like my anosmum.
I'm slowly starting to learn more about dendrobiums, because I likethe way they look and they can be grown like cattleyas (in some ways.)
My little Sweet Scent is doing great after a repotting.
