Dendrobium olivaceum outcross #922 ('4907' x 3798') (approximately 25 seedlings per flask).

The Species: This species comes from Borneo at alevations between 3000 and 6600 ft. The non-resupinate (upside down) flowers are about 2" wide, long-lasting and fragrant. It blooms at various times of the year and is in flower more often than not. It is a slow growing species.

Culture: The plant is described as spreading to pendant but I have always grown it upright in a pot with fine or medium bark. The plant in the last image is growing in a 3.25" pot. It gets moderate to moderately bright light with year round water and dilute fertilizer at every watering. I grow it in intermediate conditions and now water it most days, so it stays evenly moist but not soggy. It has done well for me in a fine bark mix.
