Dendrobium ID

9 years ago

Hello all! I'm new to the orchid game, but i currently have 2 (a Phal and this new Dendrobium). My Phal is actually doing fairly well and is currently reblooming from its old bloom stalks that i trimmed back, yay!!

But this Dendrobium I do NOT want to kill! It's adorable (and not the cheapest plant I own). I got it today, the nice lady who sold it to me said the species but I can't remember, all i know is that it's a hybrid. Anyone have any ideas? also, care tips appreciated!!

    Well, she told you it's a hybrid. It does look like a hybrid with aberrans as a parent. Mine is "Mini Snowflake". Google Dendrobium "Micro Chip" and Dendrobium "Aussie Chip" and see if either looks like what you have. Mine is less blurry in person but did not want to pose for my phone camera.

    Thank you! I've had mine for about a year. It's been an easy-going little critter. I grow under cheap fluorescent shop lights, except in summer when my plants go outside.
