The plant is grown with my other dendrobiums and cattleyas under 50% shade screen. It is in a wooden basket with diatomite rock as the media. The plant blooms in June. The tall stalks need to be reinforced with wooden stakes or they will bend down from the weight of the flowers. I keep the plant under a roof when the flowers open to protect them from the rain. The flowers will last for about a month. The plant is an old mericlone. I have not seen others around.
