Dendrochillum selection?
All:
I would like to add a SMALL Dendrchillm to my collection. I've been looking at tenellum. Do you have suggestions? |
Ddc uncatum is also quite small-ish. (But scent is a bit pungent, mustard like...)
|
Quadrilobum seems to stay small, and after a slight set back due to dryness has grown well for me. It's supposedly fragrant, as well, but mine was post bloom when I bought it and just going into bud now, so I'll have to wait to confirm that.
|
Hausermann's has had formosanum in stock from time to time. Their description:
"CH-22008 Dendrochilum formosanum, 2.25 inch pot, blooming size. Blooms in November. Greenish-yellow flowers. Flowers are about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide." |
I think my favorite mini-Dendrochilum is Ddc. cootesii. But Ddc. pulcherrimum is also quite charming.
|
cootesii. Who could resist that name?

Dolly I have a curranii that is considered a miniature. I’ve had my plant for about four years and it is 5 to 6 inch tall. It is very grass like in appearance and has sweet fragrant tiny flowers.
I purchased this from Al’s Orchids and he advised me to wait until I absolutely had to repot. Apparently they hate having their roots disturbed and will sulk. I waited and waited until the media was almost gone in the pot! It had been in fine bark in a 2” pot. I repotted it last spring into a 3” plastic pot in spaghnum & bark mix. The plant has really taken off and is flowering now. I grow this in a shelfing greenhouse, warm and high humidity, fan running and keep it moist. I hope you find a Dendrochillum, neat little plant. |
