Dendrobium (Dockrillia) cucumerinum care

[MCSchrum]

I recently received a Dend cucumerinum with an order of orchids. I've heard that they can be rather tricky to care for. I've had it for about a month and a half now. It's in a 2 inch plastic pot with a fine bark potting mix. Also, it's put on two new pseudolbulbs since then. I've heard that they do best mounted, but I don't think mounted orchids would do very well in my growing environment (I grow in an eastern windowsill).

Does anyone have any tips on growing or blooming this orchid? Has anyone had success in growing them indoors (windowsill culture)? Also, has anyone grown any other Dockrillia species?

I have grown them on and off by south window, always mounted as they like to dry out daily... So I spray them daily before noon ... They flower in summer with bright light and are low feeders (feed once every 6 weeks with fish emulsion except winter). They are mounted with a bit of moss under that dries by night). They tolerate all temperatures... In your case, if they do well, keep as is but make sure they dry out before spraying.
