Yes, though it says that some leaves may remain through the dormant period.
The main thing is that the white hairs remain for at least a couple of years on old canes.... gives it a really cool 'old man's beard' sort of look!
I hope you get one soon!!

Just found one on line at Andy's Orchids. It's mine and will be here Friday! Thanks for the heads-up.  |

Mua-ha-ha-ha!! Another conquest!
Do you have any other Dendros? This is my first one....
I'm so happy you found one, now we can compare notes. Some sources say that this is a tricky one.
Though any Dendro would be a learning experience for me might as well be a really cute one! |

I have one of these, got it from a friend when I was adopting the 'chids he could no longer care for...haven't had it bloom yet and for a while it did nothing. I moved it around for a while and have found that it likes high light, not quite Cattleya light...maybe just a notch under that level. Seems to be doing better  |

That's really good to know! Thanks for that Sue! (She says, getting up to move this one into some brighter light.... Hmmm... but will the humidity be high enough over there??)

Being in Florida, I don't really pay too much attention to humidity levels...it's always high!

Is your's completely deciduous? How do you manage the cool winter rest period? |

The leaves didn't all fall off.
For my Dens that require a winter rest, I move them all to an area where they stop getting watered and fed starting around Nov 1, then until late Feb/early March they just get a slight barely-there mist once every 2 or 3 weeks.
In March, I put them back in their original areas and start feeding and watering again.

Very nice plants, I really like the Den with the hair, it has a graceful growing habit too.
