How low a temperature drop do they get? I live @1100 feet in Virgin Islands. Rarely below 65. Should I try these? Nobile species not successful.
I think they will bloom where you live, albeit with only a few flowers near the top of the cane instead of flowers along the lenght of the stem. However there are things that can help a Dendrobium nobile make the transicion into blooming mode. The first one is growing them in full sun, no shade, full tropical sun, the canes will be stubby but they can take it. The next thing you can do is keep them dry, not a drop of water for at least a month. Some plants, amazingly will try to start new canes even in the driest part of the dry season, but resist the temptation to break the dry spell.
Your photos are gorgeous!
Thank you for featuring this beautiful orchid
