Dendrobium aggregatum and Phalaenopsis 'Mini Mark'

[camille1585]

To give you an idea, this is what mine looked like when I bought it 3 years ago.

Unfortunately it never bloomed like that again. It got a very bad case of mealies less than a year after I got it, and it never really fully recovered from it. Think I'm going to have to get another, I don't think this one will ever make a full comeback, it's too weak.

That's gorgeous! Thanks for the picture

Sorry about the mealies - they can really destroy the vigor a plant.

I'm looking forward to mine maturing.
It's interesting how they develop over time. I've had the aggregatum for 4 years and although it bloomed each year it otherwise just sulked. A couple of new psuedobulbs, a few roots and that was it.
Last year it took off with new growth and this is the first time I can smell the sweet honey fragrance.
