Trisetella dressleri

[Orchidophile]

I've had this little one for two years now and have grown it two different ways. Last winter I grew it as a cool/cold grower in a window sill terrarium with a ultrasonic fogger and had two blooms. This year I put it in my Exo Terra as a intermediate/warm grower, as of now it has five spikes (there were six but one broke off ). No matter how I grow this orchid it has never given me any problems, it has even gone completely dry quite a few times and not even a shriveled leaf was found. I highly recommend this orchid to the "mini novice. I purchased this from Ecuagenera - We are where beauty resides in life: in the simplicity of an orchid. but I know Andy's Orchids - Orchids Species - Orchids - Species Specialist - Orchids on a stick has them if you want one....or two....or

Be careful Tim, you are taking over for Shakkai as the resident enabler You do realize now I am adding this to my must-have list? Good job with this guy, by the way. I say all the above in jest.

Very nice orchid and setup.

Very cool little plant! I definitely agree - its small enough that everyone could find room for one! And if you've grown it intermediate/warm, it might even be one that Sue would want to try!

Thanks for sharing your pics, and information - AND for being such a wonderful enabler!!

I saw differnet cultural needs between Ecuagenera site and Andy's. Also Andy supplies his on tree fern totems. I personally am against tree fern unless it's the only option because of the depletion in the wilds.

Ross, most websites say it is a intermediate/cold grower but it really seems to respond to the higher end. And I agree with you on using tree fern, everything mounted by ecuagenera is on tree fern . I will let Shannen keep the title of enabler, you can call me the "enableinator"

Not much info on this one in Orchidwiz...just says cold/cool for temps and Medium for the lighting.

I have mine in fairly bright light, as long as the humidity is high it can stand the warmth.
