Dendrobium hercoglossum Rchb. f. 1886

This plant grows in my garden with basically no care except for a few applications of fertilizer during its growing season.  Local rainfall fills all its water needs.  This plant is not as floriferous for me as some others of the same species that I have seen on the Internet.  However, given that I hardly give it any care, I am grateful that it blooms at all.  The plant is still young, I brought it as a small bare root keiki.

I got this plant as a small keiki.  The parent plant was a big specimen plant.   I made this wire basket five inches wide to accommodate the future growth of this orchid, which I expect will turn into a clump of stems.  The basket is only filled about halfway with media due to the exceedingly wet rainy season which means the plant can get all the water it needs from a comparatively small amount of media.  During the local dry season I only water this plant about once a month.
