Problem with Dendrobium loddigisii
I know I got the spelling wrong but I have a nice size plant of these species,
actually a named variety 'Malvern'. It seemed to be doing well during the summer but now seems to be in distress. It is mounted on a treefern slab and is hanging from the side of one of my cattleya pots. My greenhouse is operated at a 62 degree night tempreture and I had been running a automatic misting system that came on three times for about 10 minutes every other day. I turned it off because of the bad weather and overcast days during January and February. Any ideas on this plant? It is a mature plant but has yet to bloom. |

Problem with Dendrobium loddigisii
You have not said how it is showing itself to be in distress. That
leaves many possiblities. D. loddigesii is one of those Dendrobiums that require a cool dry winter rest with high light levels to bloom. If being given proper conditions some (from few to many) of the leaves will show signs of shriveling, turning brown and dropping off. This is a tough resiliant plant that can withstand a lot of abuse. A bit more info is needed to know what is anything is the problem. S V nospamX (TRAINMAN9) wrote in message ...
