Dendrobium superbum Gift!

[Azizan]

Thank you for the advice I will treasure it as much as the other orchids in my collection. I will definitely mention your name if this blooms one day.

My mistake for the last 2 winters was putting it in cool rest environment.

I recently found out that it only gets a dry rest but normal temps. I will leave it hanging in its spot in the living room all winter so it gets good light but no water and normal 65 F- 78 F temp spread daily. I am hoping this spring that I will get blooms on it.

It should be easy for you to grow Azizan. It is local to your region and surrounding areas. I grow this in full sun and they can take quite an amount of Sun. They would like to dry between waterings and I am not good at using moss for Dendrobiums from hot humid areas.

Glad to hear it is recovering from it's long trip!

Superbum is grown the same way as anosmum. Under local conditions, can pot in charcoal or mount on fern root, leave exposed to the weather. Do not need a lot of moss around the roots, dend species prefer to dry out quickly after waterings. Semi shade, can introduce to brighter light after the plant has hardened.

Azizan very easy to grow under local climate I had D. anosmum from Sarawak just attached to Ciku tree they adapted very well frequent fertilizer will make it the next pseudobulb getting bigger and longer.
