Dendrobium (FancyAngel ‘Lycee’ X ToMyKids)

In paper it is hard to grow this...but in reality: as I group the culture with the other Dendrobiums= it is quite easy especially that it requires very little fuss

not so lucky anymore since he sold his apartment and the new one he's moving into has no balcony. oh, well...

the nobiles I have need cooling period to flower well. I read some people report that theirs flowered but the flowering wasn't as good. With once a year blooming, I need a spectacular bloom as these guys normally do given the cool period.

I got rid of all my nobiles except for one after my friend sold his apartment. With one nobile, I'm going to either leave it outside every night until first frost and see what happens. Many people say bringing indoor after leaving it out cause major bud blast due to temperature being too high. will see.
If all fail, then I will just buy them every spring and discard. lol

OH NO! youre not saying that....it hurts to throw away healthy plants just cause you cant care for them...you better find homes for them then....

I had to do it to make room for other stuff that will bloom without chilling.

I heard Isler (not sure about the spelling) hybrids do not require chilling to bloom. I wonder if it's true.
Even then, I've only seen two different color types and I wasn't too into either of them. oh, well...

I had this outdoors during the warmer months and brought it indoors a week just before the frost came….I only gave it 3 weeks chill weather to cool off and lesser water ….the grower I got this from said it is warmth tolerant but I didn’t let it out in the Manhattan heat wave….This is an early bloom since I was expecting these to flower this spring, I am also glad to see keikis together with the flowers.
