Dendrobium derryi Ridl 1907

Dendrobium derryi Ridl 1907 is found in Sumatera, Kalimantan, and Malaysia. My Dendrobium derryi is from Sumatera. When i received the plant, it has no live root at all. I was worried that this plat which belong in the Oxystophyllum section will not make it.

After a few months, there was a new bulb. And then more bulb. And after so long (probably almost a year), it bloomed for the first time, and only one flower.

I put the slab under open air, no shade at all. However, the roof of my house protect it from the mid day to afternoon sun.

Enjoy!

Vanda crassiloba

Last week I got a vanda plant from a friend. It was said to be Vanda crassiloba. Well, I could not find it in Orchid Species, therefore i search the net. There is no picture to compare to, but only that it is called Vanda crassiloba Teijsm & Binn.

At this point, I do not have information on the habitat of this species.
