Den. wassellii

[Leisurely]

I posted a picture of this plant a couple of months ago when it only had one spike. It has four now with more coming and a wonderful scent to the flowers. It is growing on a 5 x 9 piece of cedar and seems to be extremely easy to grow. The leaves are similar to B. nodosa but about half the size.

Absolutely stunning! Thanks !

The dainty flowers are very pretty and the plant looks great too! I'll have to keep this species in mind. How long do the blooms last?

Thank you for sharing.

How often do you fertilize? does it grow slowly? looks nice, very nice.

It has tripled in size during the year or so that I have had it. Since the growths are small, it doesn't get large very quickly. It requires no winter rest and I give it a light application of ferterlizer with everything else, cats. etc.

I was given a division with 3 leaves on a stick. it seems ok. Not growing not shrinking. A Dendrobium anosmum that i was given by the same person mounted the same way at the same time has been growing all these new canes.
The wasselii is outside my window . lots of sun. Wonder if i need to mist it more or if it has a short growing season like some cactaceae

Junebug, the flowers last for three or four weeks even in our summer heat.

That's pretty good for such delicate little flowers. I like the fact that they're scented too. That's always a plus. This one's definitely on my wish list. Thank you.
