Result: Dendrobium tree

[Yéri]

Hey everyone,

I made a post about the piece of wood I bought a few weeks ago. My 'tree' is finished now and I have the following Dens mounted:
D. aphyllum
D. dixanthum
D. densiflorum
D. chrysocrepis
D. denudans
D. primulinum
D. monoliforme

As some of those can become quite big, I'm going to keep it at that for now and add some more miniature ones requiring the same conditions later on. I was thinking of D. peguanum, D. gregulus and such.

Cool!

Den. unicum and loddigesii should do quite well on there, and are fairly small plants (particularly loddigesii).

I'm not that familiar with the species you list, but when you plan your "planting" out, it may be worth either making sure all your species like a dry winter rest (as an awful lot of dens seem to), or planning it so the ones that need a rest are planted higher up, allowing them to stay dry whilst those that don't like that sort of thing can still be watered lower down.

It looks great. It should be impressive in another year.

Yeah, apart from the D. densiflorum they all require a completely dry rest (as far as my research could tell). That was the whole point of my tree, this way I can just keep the whole bunch completely dry during winter

And D. unicum was also on the list of course! Been wanting that one for a while

Very cool!

Awesome! Can't wait to see them flower!
