(Den. Hsinying Frostymaree × Dendrobium tobaense)

Dendrobium section Formosae hybrid, with creamy light green petals and a red-orange lip.

‘Red Lips’ mericlone.

Plants Available: Growing in 2” pots. Plants are blooming-size. Examples of the size available are pictured. Orders will be filled with plants in bud or bloom as blooming season and blooming stock permit.

Orchid Care: Grow in bright, diffused light. Keep moist in spring and summer while plants are actively growing. If potted in an open mix that drains freely and does not easily saturate, you can even grow them alongside your Vandas, watering daily. Reduce watering somewhat during the cooler months, but plants are evergreen* and do not require a dry rest. Plants should be tight in their pots.

The canes of this variety are naturally semi-pendulous when not staked or tied upright. Bear this in mind as the new growth emerges. Staking or allowing the growths to cascade is simply a matter of preference since the new growth will be self-supporting.

*Note: Although this is not a deciduous variety, some leaf drop is normal, particularly in response to stress. It is common for the canes on Formosae-type Dens like this one to shed a few leaves after shipping. Just give them a good watering and protect from extremes (e.g. in terms of light and heat) while they acclimate to your growing space.
