Dendrobium loddigesii (Project 10 Cool - Spring 2010)

[Austin Powers]

Wow, that looks like a totally different plant. I have to get some epiweb for mounting mine which is currently on a chunk of cork.
Nenella, do you just leave the epiweb sitting in a bit of water?? Any daily soak of the entire web or misting?? I am sure you will get some great blooms this winter. In terms of flowering, from the reading I have done, starting in late September, begin to decrease watering to almost nothing, keeping the plant in a cool, 8 to 10C, area with high light for 6 to 8 weeks. This triggers flowering. I am hoping to hear from others about the timing and length of the 'winter rest'.

Does Dendrobium Loddigesii normally want to dry out between waterings? Because i asume the way you grow it in a water reservoir on epiweb the roots probaby went down into the water so it's sort of water culture.

I actually decided to try this today with Maxllaria Sophronitis & Dinema polybulbon divisions put on epiweb pad in water reservoir and see if it will go like this/

All I can speak about is my experience.The plant has doubled but I have NO roots "in" the water... For now.....If i get any I MIGHT tansfer to S/H..as I already have a den.hybrid gowing well In Leca S/H.. in my growing conditions........ It all depends on the state of the roots.. and what the plant 'does'..I am watching
