In our nursery we have various forms of one plant. Plants are living beings and so they are sometimes different. Variations in color and size are therefore possible.

The pictures shown with our products are sample pictures. These photos give a true picture of what the plant may look like when properly cared for. The specifications are leading for the plant received. Please read the characteristics carefully before ordering.

What are sample images?

We have an extremely large, extensive assortment with thousands of plants. In addition, because specific plants change in shape, color and size on a weekly basis, it is impossible for our small team to capture all specific plants. Each plant grows in a unique way, so it is perfectly normal that there may be differences in color, shape and size.

But because we do want to communicate clearly to you what to expect with a product, we have specifications for each plant that will give you a clear picture of what to expect.

It is therefore rare that you will receive the exact plant shown in the picture. If this is the case, it will be explicitly mentioned in the product description. Our goal is to ensure that you have a pleasant, green shopping experience and that you can shop with us worry-free.

For people who like to browse among the plants, we have a physical store. Check the contact page for opening hours and more info.

Description

The Dendrobium Frosty Dawn 'Red Lip' is an enchanting orchid hybrid that combines the best of both worlds: an icy white bloom with a striking deep red lip. This rare variety is a feast for the eyes during flowering and exudes a subtle elegance, ideal for lovers of unusual orchids with character.

Origin

This hybrid was created from a cross between Dendrobium moniliform and Dendrobium sanderae, two species from Japan and the Philippines, respectively. 'Frosty Dawn' gets its name from its almost shimmering, white flowers with a soft powdery texture. The cultivar 'Red Lip' adds a striking red color, like a brush stroke on a snowy landscape.

Features

  • Flowers: Flowers average 5 cm in size, snow-white with a bright red to crimson lip.
  • Flowering time: Usually in winter or early spring.
  • Growth habit: Compact pseudobulbs, erect to slightly curved.
  • Height: Up to about 30-40 cm.
  • Leaves: Glossy green, lanceolate, dropping off at dormancy.
  • Smell: Slightly sweet, especially noticeable in the morning hours.

Care

Light

Give this Dendrobium bright, indirect light. An east or west window is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight in the summer.

Temperature

18-24 °C during the day, 10-15 °C at night during dormancy. A marked drop in temperature stimulates flowering.

Substrate

Use an airy orchid substrate based on fine tree bark. If necessary, add some charcoal to keep the substrate fresh.

Humidity

A humidity of 55-75% is desirable. Preferably place a humidifier or bowl of water nearby in case of dry air.

Watering

During the growing period (spring and summer) water regularly with demineralized water, but allow the substrate to dry slightly in between. During the dormant period (autumn and winter) water sparingly. Tap water should be avoided.

Nutrition

Feed weekly with a balanced orchid fertilizer during active growth. Use a highly diluted dose. Do not fertilize during dormant periods.

Flowering

Flowering is often preceded by a dormant period during which the plant is kept drier and cooler. When respected, the plant will reward with graceful flower clusters of up to ten flowers per stem.
