Help! Looking for cultural info for Ddc. pumilum

[cbuchman]

I won a Ddc. pumilum at my Orchid Society last night. There isn't much information out there on its culture, even Orchid Wiz comes up with nothing.

It's in a 3" clay pot in what appears to be tree fern. The growth habit might indicate that it would do well as a mount. Yes?

Anybody have any experience with this one? All help/advice welcome!

Thanks in advance.

And ideas anyone?

Sorry Carrie,

the best I can come up is gleaned from Dendrochilum - Introduction.

They have var. pumilum and var. recurvum listed. Their habitat has them 700-2700 meters elevation, putting them (I think) in the warm to ccld range.

They are found in mossy forests and exposed ridges so probably favor even moisture at sea level but able to dry a bit, IDK. Mossy forest suggest shade but exposed ridges sound like more light.

Good luck!
