dendrobium hidden money?
 

so i just got a small orchid as part of a 25 dollar six pack from amazon
included was a small dend "hidden money" and i was wondering, what exact species or hybrid is this plant?

You're not going to like this response, but there is no such registered hybrid. And to go on, there appears to be no dendrobiums with the word "hidden" in their name.

There is a Den. Tiny Bubbles 'Hidden Gem' HCC/AOS, which is Maiden Charlotte (rhodostictum x aberrans) crossed back to aberrans, but that is as close as I could find in the most recent update of Orchid Wiz.

hmm
a google search yields accounts of it but nothing about its exact parentage

Again, it isn't a registered hybrid, but if that photo is truly representative, it looks like a bigibbum hybrid.

should i trust the care guidelines??

Assumedly 'Hidden Money' is a clonal name given to that specific D. biggibum/phalaenopsis. Judging from the picture it is very close to the species, which likes it very warm when growing (21°C/74°F) and warm otherwise. Good for heated homes, essentially. Lots of light to almost full sun and allow drying between waterings with excellent air circulation. They easily rot, if left wet for more than about 12 hrs. That said, once dry, they can be watered again, if in full growth (green-tpped roots). If you cannot provide these conditions, they are difficult to keep alive, let alone bloom. Cool nights can be a real problem.

Best of luck,

one from ebay that has bloomed twice.
 

I have purchased one on ebay with that name. I have some pictures from the two times it has bloomed. The flowers are beautiful no matter if it is a recognized orchid hybrid or not. White flower with a deep purple in the center. Still trying to figure out how to post the images
