Either species make for a fun plant to grow! Older plants that I’ve seen exhibited all seemed correctly labeled, but for the past few years it seems like everything available for sale has been...

I’ve got a picture of the flower for true densiflorum, but nothing handy for densiflorum. Another difference is that the lip in guibertii completely covers the column while it is open on top in...

One thing to mention - a lot of Dendrobium densiflorum being sold around the world right now are not true densiflorum. There are a lot of guibertii being sold as densiflorum or hybrids being sold as...

I just had to hop in here really quick when I saw this but can I ask who sold this to you? As far as I’m aware, that plant has never been divided so I would question whoever sold that to you.

The easiest way to see that it’s not from a group of seedlings is the fact that it has a clonal name. If you’ve got the hybrid name followed by the ‘clonal name’ between apostrophes (?), it’s either...

I think a big thing is - just like with bifoliate Cattleyas - repot when new roots are growing!

That is the case for culture awards since culture awards are given to the owner, not the plant. Flower quality awards are given to the plant, so it doesn't matter who owns them at the time that it...

If you stake it up, you might get some success, but it will definitely hit the bottom otherwise.

Cypress mulch is nice because it does not break down quickly in moist conditions and will add acidity to the media - which is great for acid loving plants. For those that prefer alkaline conditions,...

That one is spectacular. I think it needs to grow up a little more and it'll flatten out a little better. Some cupping is expected on a peloric cross like this. I don't think yours is too...

I don't remember all the differences, but part of it is that both have different bloom seasons and I believe B. appendiculata has 12 pollinia instead of 8 like cucullata (don't quote me though).
