Dendrobium Ecuagenera Rainbow Gualaceo

A cross between Den. Gaetan Minet and Den. cuthbertsonii ‘Gualaceo’, this compact hybrid bears open, star-shaped pink flowers with contrasting orange lips. Its generous floral display makes it an appealing choice for growers with cool, humid conditions.

• Light: Bright, filtered light in a well-ventilated growing area. Protect from hot direct sun, especially at midday.
• Temperature: Cool- to intermediate-growing; aim for days of 62–74°F (17–23°C) and nights of 50–58°F (10–14°C). Avoid sustained heat and provide a noticeable nighttime temperature drop.
• Humidity: Aim for 70–85% with gentle, continuous airflow to prevent stagnant conditions around the foliage.
• Watering: Maintain even moisture in a freely draining medium without leaving the roots waterlogged. Use low-mineral water, avoid prolonged drying, and do not impose a dry winter rest. Feed lightly during active growth and flush the medium regularly.

Additional Notes:

Short, leafy stems form a compact clump with textured green foliage. Grow in a small pot with loosely packed sphagnum and airy amendments; mounting is suitable where moisture can be maintained consistently. Repot when fresh roots begin to emerge, keeping disturbance to established roots minimal.
