Dendrobium lindleyi - a very easy orchid to grow? Only if you offer the summer and winter temperatures that it likes. I don't really have the climate during winter to make lindleyi bloom. I have my basement where it will never drop below 55 deg F (13 deg C). So this winter I brought it outside on our covered porch during those few nights when I knew the temperature would not drop below 40 deg F (~5 deg C). I think it got five nights like that only. Wow it worked! Six flower stems with a total of 125 flowers.
