Dendrobium Cuthbertsonii
 

Hi!

I just ordered a Dendrobium Cuthbertsonii that Will arrive later this Month. My plan for this plant is that i Will keep it in a biobottle with integrated led and with ventilationholes at the top.

In the bottle i Will use gravel and moss filled with water in the bottom to create maximum humidity.

I live in sweden so the temps here is quite cold. Does anyone have any experience with growing Cuthbertsonii in a microclimate?

First, Welcome!

Having killed multiple Den. cuthbertsonii over the years (I'm an outdoor grower, it's the summer warmth that slowly did them in) I have given up. They do love humidity, pure water, and a temperature range that doesn't go above about 23 deg C (75 deg F), with cooler nights, they would prefer days that are cooler, too. So wishing you luck and success!

Welcome to the Orchid Board!

Have a look at some notes I took at a lecture. The speaker Alan Koch mentioned how he grows Den. cuthbertsonii. It should appear in red highlighting if you click this link:

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your lectures and experience.
I will definitly look into this upon arrival.

Never did them in a microclimate. But grow them similar to Alan. I find that the cooler nights, and water quality are the key to success.

Hi!
Then i Will start with the following:
- Grow it with high humidity
- Water it with distilled water
- the temp will be around 19-20 celsius.

Thanks all for your feedback!
