    Default Dendrobium ID

    Another new one marked simply Dendrobium (Thailand). One shot is the pb with very distinctive red striping. The other is to show how the pb's grow in staggered fashion with slightly swollen bases. Any ideas as to an ID? Many thanks in advance!

    Thank you Zain! Hope it doesn't have to be that big to flower!

    Agree with Zainal, probably pulchellum. Pulchellum gets really tall but you can tie the canes upright to a wire to keep the plant neat, since the spikes will usually come from the top portion of the canes.

    Took a while but this one did turn out to be pulchellum. Three spikes started in February but I think I took it out of the basement too soon and two were lost. Know better next year. A big thank you on the ID to Zainal & Li!

    You really are experts. There was only a picture of a piece of cane with leaves and the surface of a flower pot. Respect.
