Den. Lorrie Mortimer

Den. Lorrie Mortimer is a cross that originates from Hawaii named after a Professor at UH. This is a cross between Den. Caesar x Den. Samarai. The flowers are very thick and should last for a long time. I have this plant in a clay pot with my special mix. The plant will eventually grow tall, about 3-4 feet and bloom 1-2 times a year lasting 2-3 months. Grow in 30%-50% shade and it will grow fine.

Den. aggregatum

As most of you know probably, I LOVE DENDROBIUMS. There are so many different forms and sections in this genus alone. I originally bought this plant as a 'better gro' plant in a bag a couple years ago and this is the first time it has bloomed. This species is now named Den. jenkinsii and originates from China, Eastern Himalayas, and Napal. My plant is growing in bark, which I plan to re-pot into my special mix next, and a clay pot. Most people do say to give this species a 'winter rest', however, I do not. I simply cut back on watering every 7 days during the colder months. Have questions? Leave a reply below.
