Dendrobium Upin King 'Serenade'

[Becky15349]

Oh my, how I love this dend. I just had to show you guys!! I think I'll be getting some more Dends this weekend at the Hausermann open house!!!!

This is D. Upin King 'Serenade'. I got this plant in august, put it in SH in September, and proceeded to freeze it to death on my windowsill this past winter No, I'm just kidding, it didn't really freeze...but it got DARN cold. I'm sure you guys heard all about how the midwest was in a deep freeze for weeks on end...well, I gotta tell ya, it was painful at the time, but it sure looks like the dend liked it!!! It would get down to about 47F on my windowsill, believe it or not. It has 11 blooms.

Here are some cultural tidbits:
-grown in south window
-media: hydroton
-temps: fluctuate a lot, couldn't even tell you
-watering: 1x per week in the winter, every 4th time I flush with plain water, fert all other times.
-humidity: average 50% RH

Thanks for looking!!
