Dendrobium Ecuagenera Rainbow f. pink

A cross between Den. Gaetan Minet and the pink-flowered form of Den. cuthbertsonii, this compact hybrid displays broad, rounded pink blooms. Pale lips with orange-yellow edging and deeper pink markings add delicate contrast to the open flowers.

• Light: Bright, filtered light in a cool greenhouse or well-ventilated growing area. Protect from hot direct sun and excessive leaf temperatures.
• Temperature: Cool- to intermediate-growing; aim for days of 62–74°F (17–23°C) and nights of 50–58°F (10–14°C). Provide cooler nights and avoid sustained heat.
• Humidity: Aim for 70–85% with gentle, continuous air movement. Avoid stagnant conditions around damp foliage.
• Watering: Keep the roots evenly moist in an airy, freely draining medium, without allowing prolonged drying or standing water. Use low-mineral water and do not impose a dry winter rest. Apply dilute orchid fertilizer during active growth and flush the medium regularly.

Additional Notes:

Short, leafy canes carry narrow, textured green leaves and gradually form a compact clump. A small pot with loosely packed sphagnum and airy amendments accommodates the roots; mounting is an option where humidity and watering can be maintained. Keep the root zone cool and repot as new roots begin to emerge.
