Dendrobium cuthbertsonii (three new plants)

I've posted many pictures of Dendrobiuum cuthbertsonii in the past.  These are photos of three new acquisitions, one a nice clear orange and the other two bicolors (somewhat hard to see on the third photo).  Dendrobium cuthbertsonii is a micro-miniature species from New Guinea with huge (for the size of the plant) and long-lasting flowers (six months or more).  The species is considered to be difficult, but with the right conditions is relatively easy to grow and flower.  It prefers cool temperatures, high light and constant moisture to do well.

    Very nice as always Ron. I like the clarity in the orange form and the bicolor has quite good separation in color as well.

      The orange is definitely the nicest of the three. Thanks for looking.

    Ron, I'm finally trying one out. Its all thanks to your posts. I've got it under some T5 ligths and in a terrarium, where its always humid, low temps in the upper 50's to low 60's and highs in the upper 70's in the day. I hope it flowers for me.

      Congratulations! It should do well for you under those conditions and you should have no trouble blooming it.
