Those little green threads? I think thats from the moss, not the plant.

Actually your 2 orchids are the same species. I think the accepted name is Dendrobium lichenastrum var prenticei. I actually like the other variation better but I love them both. It also tends to grow smaller than this var.

Here's a well grown plant I saw at an orchid nursery near by.

Harry, how are you growing it? Bright ligt I assume because its a Dendrobium. You keep it moist? Does it flower well for you?

harrywitmore · #**749** (**permalink**) 02-12-2010, 08:41 PM

I have been growing it in higher light than this shows but it has also declined a bit cause I was growing it too dry. It needs more moisture than lichenastrum. It's actually pretty tough if you don't totally neglect it for a year as I did. It does flower with a small yellow flower but I have not had this one flower to my knowledge. I just went looking at who had them in stock if I lose mine and J L Orchids has them.

Right now I just have a tiny little division planted in fine pumice. You think I should mount it?
