dendrochilum glumaceum
 

Hi

I am wondering if anyone has any information on this orchid e.g. watering,
light etc.

I did a google search on it and found lots of places to buy one but no
imformation on it's care

Thanks

Whatever

Found this info at www.Andysorchids.com using the Power search feature.
Dendrochilum glumaceum from the Philippines
an incredible compact plant which puts on a great floral display, 2" bulbs
topped with a single glossy dark green 10" leaf, thin wiry spikes emerge
from the center of new growths, the first 10" of the spikes are upright
followed by a pendant 8" blooming tip, the 1/2" crystalline white flowers
have a brilliant orange lip and are densely arranged in rank-and-file
fashion, easy grower and fragrant.

Spring and Fall Blooming
Intermediate to Warm; 58°F min. to 88°F max.
Bright; 2500-3500 Footcandles (very bright indirect light)
Potted, Moist; 2-3 waterings per week(let dry slightly between waterings)

FWIW, I have one in S/H culture growing along side phals, and it seems
to be ding quite well.

A word of caution though - dendrochilums really don't like to be
repotted. The three species I have all waited for 5 to 8 months after
repotting to even show the slightest hint of new growth. After that
they grew fine...
