Dendrobium farmeri alba

[gavstang]

BAng Zain..lovely plant as usual..I have 3 farmeri and Im still waiting for them to bloom..still no sign of flowering..unfortunately mine are all the pink variety, they are growing well so Im hoping that I will be rewarded soon..any tips for more frutiful growing? Ive been terribly lazy so far since my son was born. I usually water once a day and fertilise once every week rotating between a growth and flowering fertiliser.

Gavin, give more sun light and keep the plants relatively dry usually will initiate the buds, for the pink color depend on your luck sometimes it will work for you. I got another clone from Gunung Stong ( pink color very pretty) only blooming once a year so frustrated and give to my friend. How old your son right now I know you are very busy never mine focus on him that is your top priority and than your orchids.

I will take your advice..currently my farmeri are in a slightly shaded area receiving only morning sun, will adjust accordingly. My son is now 5 months old! He is a cheeky little fella and after playing with him i have no time for my orchids!
