A cross between Dendrobium Suriyon Stripe and Dendrobium Ekapol, this striking hybrid displays broad, gently ruffled blooms with bold contrasting patterns. Its expressive flower sprays bring a vibrant focal point to a warm orchid collection.
-
Light: Bright, filtered light with gentle morning sun. An east-facing window or shaded greenhouse position works well; protect from intense midday sun.
-
Temperature: Warm-growing; aim for daytime temperatures of 75–85°F (24–29°C) and nights of 65–70°F (18–21°C). Avoid cold drafts and prolonged chilling.
-
Humidity: Aim for 50–70% with steady, gentle air circulation.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly when the orchid mix approaches dryness, allowing excess water to drain completely. Increase watering during active growth and reduce frequency when growth slows, without imposing a cold, dry winter rest.
Additional Notes:
Pink-purple flowers feature pale central areas, deeper magenta flares, and richly colored lips; the extent of the markings can vary between blooms. Grow in a snug pot with an airy bark-based mix, retain healthy older canes, and gently stake flower spikes when support is needed.
