You can do if you like. I have to dig around my old drive, as I think I have other photos lurking there of the previous batch that I bought! LOL!

I love them, and the pots suit them so well!

So what is the best growing conditions for these guys? I purchased one about a year ago off of ebay...before I realized there were different varieties. I have it in high light...and it came potted in a clay pot with a fine bark medium with some perlite mixed in. The clay pot also has holes on the side. It has grown pretty well for me, at least three new growths. One of the growths put out little nubs that looked like they might develop into spikes or blooms this late winter/early spring, but they never did anything....they look as though they may have dried up but I am not really sure!

...and here are my 3 Dendrobium moniliforme:

1.- The Boys-band
2 & 3.- Dendro Turuhime
4 & 5.- Dendro Hakuturu
6.- Dendro Mangetsu (the first one. I place it here for size comparison)

Camille, enjoy them... and order one or two

(they are cheaper than Neos!!

)

Ramón, your Mangetsu looks super in that pot with that moss mound! Fantastic! Are you going to get some Erin pots for these new ones?

Becca, the information that I have says 2500-3500 fc, if under lights about 6" from the tubes. Intermediate temps. They even seem to tolerate lower humidity quite well.

LOL.... what do you think?

Victor has just made 3 pots I had ordered some weeks ago for my Cymbidiums... and I am really thinking of picking some new for the Dendros and the new Neos...
