Can anyone tell me anything about this Dendrobium? I have goggled the name and nothing comes up. Is this a name that someone just came up with for a NOID? The tag says
D563 D Andre Milar x Andre Milar
This is one of 2 dozen orchid plants I was given for free as they were in really sad shape and the owner was moving. While all but 5 of the 16 canes are pretty much shriveled into hard skinny sticks, the 5 living are green and plump. There are new roots forming and 3 new growth shoots. My intention is to convert it to S/H this afternoon.

Since most of the freebies don't have tags I will be back for type ID.
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.)
I found the hyperlink right where it was placed. My eyes and by brain got disconnected I guess . Sometimes ya gotta think inside the box to see whats there .
Its a very pretty flower. Now if I can get it to grow. The previous caretaker was very neglectful of these babies. Hopefully I can do a better job with ALL of your help. As soon as I get them sorted out I will post a list of what I have and need help with.
Is this a good candidate for S/H since its just starting to put out new growth?
Dendrobium Andreé Millar (Dendrobium atroviolaceum x Dendrobium convolutum)
Grow this hybrid in intermediate to hot conditions, or 68°F (20°C) to 85°F (29°C) at night.
Grow this hybrid in bright indirect light conditions.
50%-60% humidity. Keep moist in the Spring-Summer, when plant is in active growth. Grow in a pot with porous, free-draining media. The pot should be small for plant size. Fertilize weekly, weakly (one quarter to half the normal dose). Reduce water/feeding during the cooler months. Common media: fir bark, coconut chunks.

cb977,
Thanks for the information. Those growing temps are just about what I have right now. Its 90°F during the day and in the mid70's to low 80's at night. Very humid also. Hopefully it will like it around here.
