Dendrobium Speciosum specimen
Have had this a long time, 30" pot for size reference. Outdoors Los Angeles area, has seen freezing to really hot conditions. Under 30% shade cloth, watered and fed weekly. Has been in same pot for about 5 years, LECA and 30% chapped fern from and old mount as media with chunk gravel on bottom. 27 spikes and the smell lets the neighborhood knows she's in bloom.

Smells like jasmine but much sweeter and stronger, yes it fills the air and my neighbors know when its blooming. At time of writing this, I have three Dendrobiums in bloom now that are almost as large, so yes my neighborhood is wafting the odor in. |
