In nature, they grow within a very narrow height range above the surface of the swamps where they are native. This narrow range is high enough so that they are not often flooded in the swamps, but close enough to the water so that they stay slightly warmer and don't freeze when temperatures drop below freezing in Florida in mid-winter.
I have been growing orchids for more than 30 years, and I don't think I have the skills to grow a D. lindenii.
