Default Dendrobium aberrans

Hate to say it folks, but I have been successful with two Dendrobiums (after killing off many.) The first is superbum (anosmum) and now this one - aberrans. Since I just love minis, this was a natural and I have three plants of this little guy.

The pot in this picture is 2" wide. Sorry for the "blown out" whites, but this little guy is really tough to photograph. Yes, that's another spike on the left. I understand these guys are in pretty-much constant bloom like Haraella's.

Am I off-the-hook as "Dendrobium Killer?"

Go Ross Go Ross!
Cute little plant ..
What is your medium and the magic behind it's survival?
I could use a little advice for my dend. laevifolium.

Dorothy, I am growing in two of them in NZ sphagnum (loose) in tiny little clay pots. They are right under the T5 lights so maybe 1500 or so FCs. They stay out of the direct line of the misters so don't get too wet, just "moist". The third is mounted on a wood shingle with sphagnum and is also directly under lights but gets more misting. Hope this helps.

Very nice Ross
This is my favorite Dendrobium too and now I've got two of them already. First one is growing something in middle of the leaves ???

The flower is cute.

I think the something you refer to is the spike. It looks dead as it sits there, then starts to swell on the end. The spike itself is thin like sewing thread!
