Dendrobium aggregatum / D. jenkinsii .... Cultural requirements
12 years ago
I have never grown any Dens. and would like to start with these plants.
Has anyone successfully grown these plants in a south-facing window (winter months) then outdoors, in full-sun throughout the summer months.
The window area gets quite chilly once cold weather sets in. What are the chill conditions needed to set flowers? Should the plants be potted/mounted? Do they need high humidity? I have successfully grown Bl.'YELLOW BIRD' for years under the same conditions, and was wondering if the Dens. will also do well. I want flowers, not just leaves. The winter cycle is my concern. House temps. in winter are generally in mid-60s range, but at least 10 degrees cooler only by the bright, sunny, window.
Suggestions, please. Thanks
