Dendrobium hekouense
very strange but oh so cute. Looks like it's screaming its head off

terrific and yes! clearly, screaming at the top of it's lungs
are they attached by the roots or is the fishing line still holding them on? Curious as i want to try this and was wondering if any epiphyte will take to a rock as long as it is wet or if they need some lithophyte in their parentage |

stellar- that does not surprise me as i see them invade the chunks of lava rock i grow them in inside of pots but still wanted to ask
love the display and the growing |
Really cute and great job! I love those funky little flowers. I killed one of these a few years ago and it’s been on my list to try again. Do you mind sharing what your care is?

I also second the culture question. Is it difficult?
I tend to be a windowsill grower, and cant effectively grow things mounted. Love the plant and bloom! Way to go! |
Wow!! Will you look at that, now I've seen everything.

I haven't been growing this one for very long but so far it seems pretty forgiving. Since making this post I've actually moved it into a little pot with sphagnum moss. It seems to like it more and has grown a lot more roots and canes. I let it dry only slightly between watering.
Growing indoors, my temperature is around 77-80 in the summer to about 68-75 in the winter. It doesn't seem to know the difference and is growing new canes even in January. I've heard it doesn't need a dry or cool to bloom and can bloom at any time. Mine hasn't bloomed enough times for me to know for sure. I give it pretty bright artificial light, on the same shelf as mini cattleyas/laelias. Like with all my other plants I fertilize each time I water at 25 ppm. can't wait for it to bloom again as I am just remembering how adorable it is :) |
Oh, what a cutie!
Is it fragrant? |
Veggie- can I see this in its new pot? I am in possession of one and I know you have gotten it to work lol
