Really cool story! Great advice on growing this species! That plant of yours is amazing, and I can't fathom 29 spikes!!!!!! Congrats!

Great story, I like how you depict the passing of the seasons and how this effects the growth and flowering of the plant. I can tell that you're a gardener.;)

Hey Tod,
An EXCELLENT article. Your image simply floors the reader, especially those who know and have tried this section of Dendros!! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: |

Great to Aussie dendrobs on the other side of the world
Well done, (from down under NZ)
To get an orchid and to get it to flower provides great personal satisfaction. You should try putting a kiki on to a tree in your garden or wooden raft they can make a nice center piece. I have quite a collection of Dendrobiums and there are now some fantastic flowers with amazing perfumes being hybridized these flowers are also becoming long lasting. (over 8 weeks) Some are providing phalaenopsis type flowers and others with star flowers over 3" in size. I like them because you can get a flowering plant in a 3" pot suitable for on the table if you so desire. I have a Dendrobium Suffusion which is 24' in Dia. and provides about 100 plus flower spikes every year |
Yes, cool is key to flower production! I leave my D. kingianum out until heavy freezing temps occur. Mine has grown and flowered well! I water all spring, summer, fall...water it enough to dampen it...all under basement fluorescents during winter. Then, they go outside in early spring.
