Growing Epiphytes on Trees - zone 9/10 Mediteranean Climate

Thanks! I will be making lists of plants from your site and finding sources, for possible future additions. It's great to hear from someone growing successfully in my conditions - it gives me hope of some successes. The little Dendrobium lindleyi has pushed out a flowering stem with about 15 buds on it since arriving - can't really take credit for that, but it will be a good start when it opens the first flower!

Wonderful! I have found it a challenge to bloom... some years it does, other years it doesn't. (This one really does need to dry out in winter to even have a chance of flowers, now it its time for blooming, and watering to resume) It's older name is Den. aggregatum, some of us call it Den. "aggravatum"
