Dendrochilum wenzelii

[KyushuCalanthe]

My little plant is flowering well this year. I think the trick is to give it plenty of light and keep it slightly dry in winter.

Tom, well done. Is it as scented as others of this genus?

David, it doesn't smell right now (3 pm). I'll check at another time.

I love this species. Yours is awesome. I’m so curious about your medium. My yellow one grows well but my red one is constantly on the verge of death.

Sorry, I missed your question. The plant is growing in a ball of moss with no amendments. I simply fertilize it when it's in growth, otherwise it lives on air and water

Wow. Thank you, I will repot mine. They have never done well in bark. Thanks!
