Dendrobium Aussie Chip: light?

[boytjie]

Hi all,

I recently got a Dendrobium "Aussie Chip" that is sprouting all over the place, despite it being winter. Anybody grow this little guy, and have an idea as to its light requirements? Would it do okay with the Phals and Paphs, or would it be happier in a higher-light situation?

Thanks!

Hi Stephen, I have one of it's parents atroviolaceum. It's shooting out new growths like crazy too. The other parent is Den. abberans. Both like high light, warm-hot temps and plenty of moisture when actively growing. I'm growing mine in Cattleya light. You'll love this one.

Thanks! I had it with the Phals, but I'll move it to the top shelf with the Catts. I'm not typically a Dendrobium fan, but couldn't really say no to this one because of the small size.
