Dendrobium peirardii

Last year I ended up with a few keiki I put them in s/h to see what would happen was easy just don't water if you do not much, just mist . Thanks for looking .. Gin

wonderfull Gin....lol I did the same but lol I am a chronic waterer and while mine is blooming it is much less than yours ....I decided a couple of times that the res going dry was a little too dry and oops refilled it ...next year no refills....and Mine did not drop a leaf so I know It was that.

I think some of it depends on the temps. these were in a cooler area of the greenhouse plus you have not had yours very long next time they will be better established....

Beautiful!! I got one bloom off of mine last year (but it was still a young keiki). I'm curious to know what it's up to this time, I left it home in france. I know it's not getting much water (my sister isn't too good about it) but don't think that it got enough light this winter.

Nice blooming, Gin! This species is wonderful when it's covered in flowers like that.

Cam I have found it does not need a lot of light to bloom when I got the original plant I grew it pretty shaded no computers to find info. just old antique books at the library . It did not drop the leaves and bloomed . You might be surprised

I'm very curious about mine then!! It's hanging next (not in front) to an east facing window. I had asked my sis to move it to the south window in the living room, but she never did.

How long have you had the original plant Gin?

WOW, great looking blooms! Awesome job!

Thanks to all for the kind comments I think it has been over 20 years, don't really remember exactly, it was a keiki when I got it .

That's already a long time! Must be spectacular looking in bloom.
