den stratiotes

[kielley]

Is anyone familiar with den. stratiotes or den. antennatum? I ran across one or the other many years ago at Tropical Orchid Farm on Maui. Now they don't list either and I haven't been able to find them elsewhere. I'm not too well versed in dendrobiums in general. Are either of these species worth looking for? Is so, where?

[Phantasm]

Both of these species are warm growers and are quite floriferous. They require very good lighting to grow well.
If you google the names, you will be able to locate some vendors who sell these plants.

Den. stratiotes and Den. antennatum are both warm to hot growers. Therefore, in tropical areas, they do flower all year round.
I own Den. antennatum which is an easy plant to grow, but when the cold fronts hit(usually less than 12°C), i have to move them into my house to avoid damages.
