What to put on a S California tree
I want to put an orchid on my mom's jacaranda tree in southern California. She lives in southern Orange County about 5 miles from the coast. She is just inland from the coastal hills so warmer than right on the coast, but never really hot. Nights are almost always cool. Winters are too cool at night for southeast Asian tropicals like Vanda or Phalaenopsis, but frost would be exceptionally rare. I forgot the Sunset zone but I think it's 23.
It will get 2 hours' low morning sun, then dappled shade through the canopy. The tree is thinned; a large Trichocereus cactus blooms well underneath.
I have a piece of Dendrobium xdelicatum which should do well. Any other suggestions from SoCal growers? Thanks.
