Dendrobium cuthbertsonii - Orchid Board

I bought this plant in November of 2014, it had 3 blooms that were almost faded. I got 7 new buds in March and this plant has been in bloom since then. Four of the flowers faded when I went on vacation, but it is still in bloom with 3 flowers! If you can grow this plant it is highly rewarding because it stays in bloom for so long.

Mine grows in a southern facing windowsill. I don't really do anything special.

Nice job. Cuthbertsonii can be difficult. (was for me, in any case)

I really like that plant, good job. I'd like to get one of them sometime.

Thank you, I was nervous to grow it. I think I lucked out and just happen to have a spot in my home that this plant likes.

Thank you. I got mine when Mario from Marsh Hallow Orchids was a speaker at the Michigan Orchid Society. I like to buy plants that are notoriously difficult in person, so I am guaranteed a decent plant to start with .
