Denendrobium Unicum-> how long do the flowers last?

[}{ead$hot Zod]

I have a unicum that is about to pop a couple of flowers. Since this is the first time I've had one bloom, I'm curious how long the flowers might last.

Flowers in the unicum are very long lasting; especially if you bring it indoors. They lasted about 1 month on mine. this mini is one of my favorite and the veining on the lip is gorgeous. You are going to love it.

1 month...... oh no, now I have to find an orchid group that meets during the summer to show it off

Each blossom of mine lasted maybe 2 weeks. The whole display lasted about a month, however. Mine is indoors in front of south-facing window.

Mine bloomed for about a month, took a month off, and is now giving me a second flush of blooms on two different canes. Individual flowers seem to last 2-3 weeks. They're odd little flowers, but really cool. They kinda smell like Crayola crayons. Makes me remember elementary school.

Of course it bloomed and I can't find the battery charger for the camera. It does however have an odd scent to it.

I just bought one 2 week ago . I was looking at andys orchids and the ones he sells it says that if it looks dead just wait and it will come back .Does that mean it dies back.

The leaves do. The plant doesn't. Older canes may look shriveled, but they're not dead. Younger canes don't necessarily shrivel, if they do it's very minimal. It's easy for someone who hasn't grown Den unicum before to assume that it's sickly and dying when they're just fine.

Yeah it does doesn't it? It kinda smells like an orange peel that's been out a bit.

Maybe the pollinator is a fruit fly, (not the smaller red-brown one, but the larger black one). IDK.

It finally bloomed
