Dend. victoria-reginae

Hey y'all,

I just got one of these and I am curious as to how others are growing it. It is in spike and has a nice new growth and an older growth or two. It came in sphagnum and a clay pot.

As a refresher, I grow in a basement which is generally between 55° to 65° in the winter and up to 75° in the summer (so far anyway.) I'd love to know how others are growing it with regards to mix and pots and light and temps.

Thanks in advance!
Heather

HI Heather -- I grow mine on a treefern slab in somewhat intermediate conditions with no winter rest-- hope this helps

 

[Heather]

You are always helpful, Uri!

Looking forward to hearing from others as well though...

 

[Heather]

No one else grows this beauty?

Also mounted, but cool and low light. Water whole year as all my dendros do, but no fetrilizer in winter.

They grow cool.

I've had luck with it, and I currently grow Mingle's Sapphire, which is a hybrid of it. Grows easy for me under lights in intermediate temps, outdoors in shade with morning sun. A gorgeous plant. Eric

Eric M - have you grown it in a pot? Really curious about pot culture. You guys aren't going to make me go ask at OSF are you? Really....

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Yeah, its real easy in a pot....and its only in a 2.5" rose pot. Eric

I have a related species in a plastic basket with treefern fiber and moss

I grow it in the greenhouse. Right in front of the humidifier and in a basket. Wet it daily and fertilize every 2 weeks. Mine is currently in bloom as well. I hang it up high in the greenhouse to get plenty of sunlight.
