catasetum denticulatum

[euplusia]

Hi coz2001, from where do you order it???
I once had a denticulatum, but the plant did not adapt to our growth cycle, tried to grow in winter and finally died. But once I have seen the flowers, I want it again and have been searching for years.

And Ian, great plants, lovely flowers and nice pictures as always. Thanks for posting. In the first pic I see small plastic pipes. Are they part of an irrigation system?

those plastic pipes are used for hanging the plants, i do not like the conventional wire hangers, too rigid and hard to me to work around.

for denticulatums, i notice that they do better with dryer growing conditions. let the media dry out before the next watering and use a well aeration media.

From a Danish vendor that pick them up in Germany i don't know where, I talked to him today and he said they are very small so it will take some years to see it bloom, but I still want one and some others, hehe
