As classified by Rebecca Tyson Northern, there are 6 groupings that describe the differences in growing needs of Dendrobiums. I am paraphrasing to avoid copyright infringement.
Type I (deciduous, so-called nobile type) intermediate to warm in summer, cool to cold in winter, full winter rest. Examples: D. nobile, D. chrysanthum, D. wardianum.
Type II (deciduous) intermediate to warm all year, full winter rest. Examples: D. speciosum, D. aggregatum, D. findlayanum, D. heterocarpum, D. superbum (anosmum), D. parishii, D. pierardii.
Type III (persistent) intermediate to warm summer, cool in winter, no winter rest - simply reduce water. Examples: D. densiflorum, D. fimbriatum, D. thyrsiflorum, D. farmeri.
Type IV (persistent) cool all year. Short suspension of water early autumn. Examples: D. bellatulum, D. secundum.
Type V (persistent) Intermediate all year. No rest. Examples: D. antilope and hybrids of type V and type VI.
Type VI (persistent) warm growing all year. Restrict water twice during year. Examples: D. phalaenopsis, D. bigibbum, D. superbiens.
Now, I have little personal success with any, except type II, so I can't help with culture on the others (I kill them more often not not - or they just up and die
) but deciduous type II are said to be the easiest for in-house culture, if one follows their needs strictly. I've found this to be true for D. anosmum. Hope this helps others.
The Six Horticultural Groups of Dendrobium
I'm still in the dark as to what I have, but still researching.
I feel like it is Group IV, but then it's a little confusing because I was just researching dend tobaense (which has an awesome flower btw) and it is stated as a warm grower!
