I got my first orchid ! Female
Default I got my first orchid !

I was at home depot and they had 50% off their orchids not in bloom anymore lol.

I got mine for 3 bucks. It is dendrobium zeschina Lynn. I will see if I can keep it alive. I have some wood I collected and will like to mount it on the wood.

I will post pictures later. Its pretty healthy plant. It looked like it had two spikes when it bloomed.

Kali - I'm a little confused about the name of your Dendrobium. There is no Den Zeschina Lynn and you said that your plant had two old spikes from it's previous blooming. I'm assuming that there were no flowers on it when you bought it, what I would like to know is how did you come up with the name Den bigibbum?

I apologize for the misspelling it is zeschia
typing on a tablet is not easy.

Dendrobium Zeschia Lynn - nobile or not? - Orchid Forum Orchid Care

the tag posted in that thread is the same tag on my plant. Its only about 5 inches tall.

congrats on your orchid! and welcome to the forum

im pretty sure dendrobium zeschia lynn is a hybrid, its of the phalaenopsis type, and has dendrobium biggibum in the parentage, as most den phals do.

im also pretty positive its not a species, because the chance of having a species at home depot is very low.

Hi Help you are right on the back of the tag it says Zeschia lynn dendrobium X

I been reading about dendrobiums for a while. I plan to get a lot of them for my terrarium. I wanted to know should I give this one a winters rest ? I was reading some info about bigibbum ( maybe this one is mixed with it the pictures look similar to the tag) I was on orchidsonline and it stated that during winters rest no water for 4-5 months.

I am about to put it under my t5's and see how it does. In home depot it was inside so far away from the lights and in the house plant section.

I would like to mount it but I have not seen a similar hyrbid mounted. Everyone has them in pots. I am worried it wont look as nice mounted.

I don't understand why you want to call it Den bigibbum if the tag says it's Den Zeschia lynn?

Phal type Dens like this don't need a winter rest at all, they need the same type of care year round. I also have some sort of bigibbum hybrid, and it blooms pretty much year round, and is growing with my Phals.

Has anybody been able to find out anything about this plant? I searched Orchid Wiz and the RHS data base and there isn't anything remotely close to this name.
