Default Dendrobium aggregatum

I love this too, Wendy. It has such a sunny, happy face.

Tennis, ours gets high light and a very pronounced dry rest. No fert during
that time, and only what mother nature chooses to give it in the way of
water. Down here, at least, most folks grow them either in baskets or
mounted. Ours is mounted. It has not bloomed this year, and I believe that
is because we had an unusual amount of rain over the last few months. It's
usually quite reliable.

Well I am not sure Tennis, as I have only had it for a year, killed one
before, so this one went into a slitted
clay pot, hung up high & gave it a spritz once in a while, no complete
rest.

Nice one. I love aggregatum but gave mine up a few years back as it
wouldn't bloom for me despite following the cultural recommendations. How
do you get yours to flower so well?
