Lowes bag orchids

[Ashleyma23]

I spotted a Dendrobium Spectabile & a Brassavola Nodosa.

I know these are fragrant and I should have picked them up I'm thinking...

I have been looking for a Dendrobium K and haven't found one.

Should I have tried these orchids out?



Found them !

B Nodosa 'Remar X Mas Mejor' --- I found two spike nubs !!
Rynchostylis Giganta 'Peach'
Dendrobium Spectabile

Yes! These are fabulous orcids. Well worth it.

B. nodosa is very fragrant at night, and depending on the clone, they can be compact, or sort of medium height. They need a lot of light to bloom well (nearly full sun in native habitat), so if you can provide that, they are well worth it.

I have a young D. spectabile, mine is 8 to 10 inches tall. They get to be quite tall (2+ feet?), but I look forward to the unusual flowers, and what I hear is an amazing fragrance. Right now, I am treating it sort of like a Cattleya (not sure if that culture is right but its growing well).

If you can meet the cultural needs and have the space for the Dendrobium, go fo it!

I wish my D. kingianum was bigger, I'd share a piece; they are not too hard to find. Maybe in a year or 2 mine will be able to spare a rooted division or keiki?

Let's hope you find them when you return.

I'm not sure if the B Nodosa is in spike. It has 3 growths.



I repotted:

Rhyynchosrylis Gigantea (orange) the bag said peach

Dendrobium Spectabile

Thank you for the suggestions.

I bought a B. nodosa Little Stars from Lowes 2 years ago and it has been a wonderful plant. Very vigorous grower and blooms 2 or 3 times a year for me. Very nice fragrance at night. When in bloom, we bring it into the bedroom to enjoy the fragrance at night.

That is wonderful ! I noticed mine has two spike nubs forming , the other three were new growths.
