Dendrobium kingianum var album flower

[camille1585]

Nice one Rosie! I've given up wintering these myself, I just can't give them a cool bright winter. I end up woth nothing but leaves and more keikis, with the occasional lone bloom. So I left one at my mother's as a test. It's in the unheated basement behind a sunny window. I need to ask her how it's doing.... If she remembered to water it at all this winter.

Very nice Rosie.....

The key to flowering is light.... Bright light, some may even need full sun. Cut your watering in half when new growths mature. Your night temps will need to drop 10 deg or more into the mid-low 50's.

Beautiful!
I love the alba; so pure.
I also got few kingianum hybrid keikis potted last winter and one is making a spike. I can't wait.

Thanks everyone. They are such pretty flowers and while a big display is nice I actually really liked the cute little one on it's own

The mother plant is now in flower as well. It had an attack of black fly and some flowers blasted from the flies and some discoloured from the soap spray I used to fight them. But still got a good display of flowers
