Dendrobium stratiotes
A species from the tropical forests of the Pacific region, producing upright inflorescences with large, distinctive flowers characterized by strongly twisted, horn-like lateral petals that curve dramatically upward and outward from the center. The dorsal sepal is narrow and erect, the lateral sepals spread wide, and the tubular lip is prominently veined and well-defined.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; tolerates higher light but avoid harsh direct sun on the canes.
- Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); a warm grower that thrives in stable tropical conditions with good air movement.
- Humidity: 60–80%; moderate to high humidity supports healthy cane development and reliable blooming.
- Watering: Water thoroughly during active growth; reduce slightly once canes are mature to encourage flowering.
Additional Notes
Grow in a coarse bark-based mix in a well-draining pot, and repot only when the medium begins to break down or the plant outgrows its container. Shipped bare root and well established.
