Ah! My absolute favorite of all the jewel orchids. Had one years ago but, alas, lost it. Will have to try one again some day if I can get an inexpensive one with which to experiment.
I'm planning on looking for those last two haha, how do you grow the didieri?Den. christyanum. The flowers have a sweet smell, reminds me of hand lotion
NOID Phal, rescued from the discount rack at Lowe's a few years ago.
Angraecum didieri. The tips of the sepals and petals are brown, probably due to a few bouts of low humidity while the flower was developing. But it still fills the living room with a spicy fragrance at night.
Leptotes bicolor
how do you grow the didieri?
Mounted, hanging near the lights/window, with a lot of Spanish moss hanging around the roots. I give it a good soak 2-3 times a week with plenty of misting in between. Humidity varies from 20% on the driest winter days to 70% in the summer but usually hangs out around 50%. Temps range from 58-60F (night) to 70-73 (day) in the winter and 68-75 (night) to 80-88 (day) in the summer. I'm a windowsill grower, so this all depends on what Mother Nature throws my way. It blooms reliably every spring and summer. But if the humidity drops while the bud is developing, the flower ends up with brown edges.
what direction is your window facing?
We actually just picked one up at home depot not too long ago hahahaSome nice posies you have there! Considering you can grow many chids outside, you should get yourself a Dendrobium spectabile.
Yeah, that one chid is definitely not an Ionopsis
