When the bulbs have formed their last leaf I gradually cut back on watering and after two or three weeks I am on the winter regime, which is occasionally misting and lightly watering (not soaking as...

I grow it in my greenhouse. It's a pretty tough plant, so I think you can grow it in your garden. The only thing is - but that also goes for the apartment - that humidity might be too low for the...

Hi Jason,

You're right: in young plants the bulbs are close together, but soon they will get more distant, as you can see on my plant (mostly 10-12 cm apart). The bulbs in the photo are relatively...

Well, Jesse, that's quite an impressive list! I now understand why you're building a larger greenhouse.

That's a large greenhouse for sure. What species of Stanhopea and Gongora do you grow?

This was in the north of Thailand, the National Park of Phu Hin Rong Kla, which is sandstone only. Southern Thailand is mostly limestone, but I did not see any Epigeneium amplum there (mostly it's...

Hi Royal,



I grow it cool (winter minimum 10 C), in half shade and with a dry rest, occasionally misting it. The thing with E. amplum is that the bulbs are widely spaced (up to 10 cm!) so in no...

Thanks Ross! I googled matsushima and found to my surprise that there is a whole Japanese cultivation tradition of D. moliniforme varieties, which you knew already of course.

Epigeneium amplum surprise

I have this plant already for some twenty years, and after some difficult years it now is doing well again. What I never noticed before is, that if you look from above into the flower, you see a...

Dendrobium moniliforme?

Would anyone know if this is Dendrobium moniliforme? Or is it some hybrid?

Thanks

Epigeneium amplum culture

Hi Ry,

Bulbs are rather widely spaced (5 to 7 cm) so it runs quickly off its mount or out of its pot. After a few years your plant will be half a meter long!

Is your D. speciosum flowering every year? Mine, a big plant with 40 cm bulbs, does not even make new bulbs every year and flowers only every third or fourth year!

Well, too many of course. I think about 400, but to be honest maybe a quarter of them are just hanging on, not or only rarely flowering, or getting smaller every year and eventually fading away. On...

Hi Renée,
The usual stuff: Paphs, Phals, Dendrobium nobile, the Epidendrum. But I discovered soon that low humidity was a problem, so after a year or two when I bought a Brassia verrucosa I built a...

Camille, I don't have a picture of the Epidendrum, but it does look very much like radicans, nice yellow-and-orange flowers. I think I will go to the NOV-dag, so maybe we'll see each other there.

Hi David,

I bought P. pedunculata a year ago; it does reasonably well but so far I don't see any sign of flowering. Also I can't find out much about how to grow it. Does it need a resting period...

Camille, thanks for your reply. I'm in the east part of The Netherlands, near Zutphen. Heating was no problem this winter, but keeping the humidity sufficiently high was difficult!

Hello from Holland!

I live in the Netherlands and started growing orchids about 25 years ago. At first on the windowsill, then in an indoor greenhouse (a plastic affair in a spare bedroom), and the last ten years in a...
