These attractive dendrobium flowers last a very long time. I can't seem to
get more than one or 2 flowers/ stem. It also seems not to bloom unless the stem is hanging much as some vandas do. Gary |

We have this in bloom also. It is quite rangy. The pseudobulbs tend to fall
over, for sure. I wonder if it would be happier mounted in a basket, or on a piece of hardwood. Love the flower, and it just stays in bloom forever. Diana "v_coerulea" wrote in message ...

Mine has just quit after about 4 months of blooming. I noticed the it only
blooms on the hanging canes. Maybe that just indicates age (we all do that a bit with age). I have it potted in peanuts and sphagnum and hanging. I think a lot of orchids prefer to be in the breeze and it makes a lot more bench space. I just poke holes in regular pots and use 3-wire hangers. The hangers provide a means of support too if you need it. I use the smallest guage hole punch from Staples (1/8" I think). I don't think any reinforcement is needed as the orchid is usually holding on for itself before any plastic holes give out. I've never had that happen anyway. So, I agree that hanging somehow is the best for this plant. Gary "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message news We have this in bloom also. It is quite rangy. The pseudobulbs tend to fall over, for sure.

I've heard there's a fellow in Alabama who grows the majority of his catts
hanging from the GH ceiling, in the breeze. The person who visited him said they were the best grown catts he'd ever seen. I've seen pics of ghs in Brazil where the catts (or purpuratas) are all in clay pots and hang approximately at head level. No benches. I wanted to try to mimic that in my gh addition, but..well, with this dang addiction I just couldn't see empty space and not put orchids in it.... K Barrett "v_coerulea" wrote in message ...

We hang tons of orchids. Over every bench is hanging space. Can't say that I
find much difference in blooming, though. Diana "K Barrett" wrote in message . ..
