Dendrobium Hancockii

[JeffreyGreen17]

Just bought a Dendrobium Hancockii, does anyone have any tips for this plant? It's leaves really look like the leaves of a Gatton Sunray, but much thinner.

In the process of "bidding" for it on eBay, please don't bid higher than me!!!

Theres two "buy it now" on Ebay...no need to bid

the seller from Seattle is $19...5 plants available
seller from Hawaii is $12...9 plants available

and they are of the same size

I would buy Hawaii even if the shipping is extra

[JeffreyGreen17]

Yeah, I saw that after I placed the bid -_-

Slight winter rest..... no fertilizer from when you see the plant slow in growth to after the plant blooms and starts to grow. Likes cool humid conditions. Clean water....300 total PPM's or less. Let the plant almost dry out in-between waterings while in growth.

I recommend you get a culture sheet from Baker.

Smart move, I always do an extensive research on the orchid I am about to get. That way, I wont kill it in my posession, heh

What do you use for it's planting medium? Mostly charcoal and coarse bark? Or something more water retaining?
