A cross between Dendrobium Caesar 'Warawan' Pink and Dendrobium lasianthera, this hybrid displays pink-purple flowers with elongated, twisting segments and fine darker veining. Its open, antelope-like floral shape creates a distinctive, sculptural display.
-
Light: Bright, filtered light with gentle morning sun. A lightly shaded greenhouse or bright east-facing window is suitable; protect from intense midday sun.
-
Temperature: Warm-growing; aim for daytime temperatures of 75–88°F (24–31°C) and nights of 65–72°F (18–22°C). Avoid cold drafts and prolonged chilling.
-
Humidity: Aim for 60–80% humidity with steady air movement, especially during warm weather.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly during active growth, allowing an open orchid mix to approach dryness between waterings. Reduce frequency when growth slows, but do not impose a hard dry rest or leave roots standing in water.
Additional Notes:
Upright, swollen canes carry elongated green leaves, with flower sprays rising above the foliage. Use a snug pot with a coarse, airy bark-based mix and stake new growths or flower stems if needed. Retain healthy older canes, repot as new roots emerge, and feed lightly during active growth.
