Beautifull! 'Giganteum' is that for the flowers or for the plant itself?!
Kind regards, Jens
Kind regards, Jens
The plant itself is small

Bizarrely beautiful and an excellent photograph.
I think most people grow them mounted and 'hanging'. Well done.
Yes that's the better way but it needs more service in Middle Europe
Glad I asked...would never have guessed the size of the plant itself...to see the plant in toto really adds to its slightly alien beauty!

Berthold, that's not var giganteum. If it has a sweet scent it is tetragonum var tetragonum, if it has no scent or not much it is var melaleucaphyllum. Var giganteum has yellow spots and splashes on the petals.
Yes, Mike, I have to agree, thanks.
I see the plant between melaleucaphyllum (80%) and tetragonum (20%), based on my available documents.
Love! Never seen.
Optimal temperature at flowering time is 10 to 15°C
Was wondering how it would do in traditional Japanese/Korean Choseiran culture? I can’t get into D. moniliforme but THIS wild thing... where did you get it? How long have you grown? What are it’s humidity
I got the plants 6 years ago from a near by orchid nursery for 13 Euro.
Humidity is medium in pot culture, pine bark in clay pot with a moss layer on top
Thank you!
