Dendrochilum filiforme
 

Got this one last year. In one year it nearly doubled in size (typical for Dendrochilum species), and gifted me with seven bloom spikes. Each spike is about a foot long. Individual flowers, at least a hundred on each spike, are about 1/8". Very faintly fragrant during the day, an odd mix of sweetness and soap bubbles. I grow this one intermediate, fairly bright light, in sphagnum moss mixed with tree fern, and watered every other day - these guys are water hogs!

Thanks for looking! ;)

Oh my! Definitely going on my wishlist! It is so amazingly beautiful!!! :D

Well done.

Got to love the Dendrochilums!

Oh yes and then some! Wait till you see one up close and personal! :biggrin: And then smell it :cloud9: Irresistible!

:hello Stephen,Wow isn't something!Congratulation and very good growing:biggrin:

That looks really cool. Love the way it looks hanging like that.

You should definitely consider getting one. They put on a really nice display and are easy to grow! ;)

very beautiful! thanks for sharing:)

Stephen,

I was wondering if you've noticed any additional requirements for the filiforme over the last year n a half?
I've had mine for over 2 years now, gotten good growth that fills a 4" pot, receives bright to medium light, grown warm to intermediate, watered well and fertilized weakly weekly but yet no blooms! Just wondering if there's a trick or two I'm missing. Any help would be much appreciated!

I had dendro. magnum that has a soapy, clean scent. I couldn't keep them from rotting. Loved the smell though.
