Dendrobium Chrysotoxum X Sib.

One of the beautiful Dendrobium species from North Eastern parts of India, producing an arching golden yellow colour flowers. Also known as the Golden Arch Dendrobium, it is a stunningly beautiful orchid. The plant is adored for it arching spikes of 4 cm waxy, bright orange fragrant flowers, with fringed lip.These plants grow robustly during spring and summer and the growth stops altogether in late fall, but this species does not shed its leaves during the winter resting period. They need copious water and fertilizer while growing and less when mature. If well grown, it develops in to a very showy large specimen with large multi flowered clumps. The plant can be grown in a pot or basket with lots of water and fertiliser when in active growth.  Plant needs a dry period as it approaches winter and the rest primes it for eventual flowering. During this ‘rest’ period the plant does not need regular water or fertiliser, watering can be done sparingly to ensure that the pseudobulb does not shrivel. The species prefers bright light for good growth and flower production and overall prefers intermediate temperatures. On offer a very healthy and big size orchid which is ready to flower in the season. WE will send the plant bare-root to reduce the weight and postage or if you want us to send it in the pot please contact us.
