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

This striking Dendrobium-hybrid immediately stands out for its eccentric flower shape and fiery color combination. The nickname 'Spider' refers to the elongated, narrow petals reminiscent of spider legs. A real eye-catcher for the lover of unusual orchids.

Origin

Dendrobium Jairak Firehorn 'Spider' is a selective cross resulting from the comprehensive Dendrobium-complex of hybrids developed in Thailand. The cultivar was marketed by Jairak Orchid, a well-known nursery specializing in tropical orchids. This plant has no natural locality, but is the result of years of breeding for floral beauty and vigor.

Characteristics

What makes this orchid so special is its striking flower shape: narrow, pointed petals in a dramatic color mix of red, orange and sometimes even almost black at the base. The flowers are arranged in compact clusters along the upper parts of sturdy reed-like stems. Unlike many other Dendrobiums, this hybrid retains its foliage beyond the flowering season, making the plant attractive year-round.

Care

Light

This species likes a lot of light. Put it in a place with bright, indirect sunlight. A few hours of morning or evening sun is well tolerated, but bright afternoon sun can damage the leaves.

Temperature

Ideally between 18°C and 28°C. In winter it may be slightly cooler, but avoid temperatures below 13 °C.

Substrate

Use an airy bark-based orchid substrate. If necessary, add a little sphagnum for extra moisture retention.

Humidity

A humidity of 50-75% is ideal. In dry rooms, for example, you can use a humidifier or mist the plant regularly.

Nutrition

During the growing period (spring to late summer), use a balanced orchid nutrition, diluted to a quarter of the recommended dosage, weekly. In winter, once a month is sufficient.

Watering

Allow the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. Preferably use demineralized water at room temperature.

Flowering

With proper care, this cultivar flowers once or twice a year with long-lasting flower clusters. The flowers usually remain beautiful for 4 to 6 weeks. After flowering, old pseudobulbs can be left as they store nutrients and can sometimes re-sprout.
