More Den. monoliforme

Lovely, Kavanaru! My order of 5 dens just came 2 hours ago! I have a Mangetsu too Glenn gave me a free Raizan in bloom.

I really think that Hakuunrya tends to outdo itself in the blossom category and does quite well under bright light in a tank. I'm waiting to see if the latest growth is a bud or a new leaf.

My order came yesterday and I think these 2 are my favorites. 1 of the 5 looked a little pathetic with 3 leaves so hope it puts out some more growth soon.

We call them ' Long-life Orchid' in east Asia.
They have been popular in Taiwan, Japan and Korea for a long time.

WOW, all these pics...these have got to be the prettiest Dends I've seen.

shakkai, those stone pots are outrageous! Do they have drainage holes? Just love them.

wish I could get mine to flower I can only get kiekeis and it looks like all the old cans have dried up and are dying now

Ross, I haven't had a lot of luck with blooms yet on these. They have either turned into keikis or have just dried up. I'm not sure if I'm not watering them correctly or if its the light or maybe even my temps. The plants themselves seem happy, as they have put out new growths from the base as well. Suggestions??

LinhT, I love that Gokokinagashi - the yellow colour of the leaves is really striking. Show us some blooms!!?!

Thanks, Pheli. It is nice to have this kind of information. Do you grow any of these? I'll bet you see so many more varieties than we can get here. The ones that I have seen photos of were from Japan and it looked like most of them were being grown in the moss mounds like the Neofinetia. Is that how they are commonly grown?

Sandy, those are bonsai accent pots from Erin Pottery so yes, they have nice large holes in the bottom. I love these pots!! And the rock that you see in the photo of Ginga was made possible by my wonderful buddy Gwen! Thanks to her, I have a very nice selection of beautiful rocks to use as accents to the Neos and Dens.

Hi Tom, I've been in the same boat as far as flowers. Though with the leaves being so decorative, I've not really worried about it. I would be concerned about the old canes drying up, though. How do your roots look?

shakkai, thanks for the link. I just bookmarked it.
