Dendrobium Gatton Sunray

That's a well known, early cross.
It is able to grow to a huge one, almost as tall as a adult.

Hi, I have two plants, last year the big one gave flowers and now I see that the other one is going to open for the first time. They need sun, mine are so tall, bigger than me I'm waiting for the big one to flower again.

I got a keiki, which was 15 cm tall, several years ago. It bloomed for the first time about 3 years later.
Now, my plant is about 60 cm tall.

I checked today and is not open yet. What type of potting mix do you use? I use lava rocks, charcoal, perlite and leca. I posted in the past some picture on this page and its was big, now its bigger

I have seen your post. Your plant is indeed a big one.
I use pine bark as its medium. Some people here grow their plants in mixed coarse medium.
