Dendrochilum Growers guides | Dendrochilum Dendrochilums belong to a genus containing 313 species, found throughout South East Asia, Taiwan and New Guinea. There are three main centers of distribution: Borneo, the Philippines and Sumatra. The majority of the species are small- growing plants from elevations over 1000 metres. The flowers, though small, are usually produced in great profusion. Temperature Dendrochilums can be grown warm to cool, depending on where the species comes from. With this genus, it can be important to grow your plants according to their temperature requirements. Read up to find where your plant is from and the types of conditions they need. Light Bright to intermediate light depending on the natural habitat with the cooler growing species generally requiring more shade than the warmer growing ones. This genus enjoys bright morning sun. Water Dendrochilums like to be kept evenly moist at all times. Daily watering in summer will be needed if your plant dries out quickly. In winter a good watering once a week should suffice. Some species need a two-week rest after flowering. Feeding Use a balanced fertiliser at half strength once a week while plants are actively growing (spring through autumn). This can be reduced to once a month in the winter. Foliar feeds work well in this genus. Humidity Humidity should be at least 70 percent. Some species prefer much higher humidity. Maintain constant air movement. Cutting Dead Flower Spike Dead spikes can be cut off at the base of the inflorescence, close to the plant. If your plant is happy, you could have literally hundreds of flower spikes each containing a hundred or more flowers. Some awarded plants grown in the Cape have many thousands of flowers on the plant during flowering. Flowering generally occurs once a year. Repotting This genus prefers to be grown in a mix that retains water, with some growers opting for fine bark mixed with sphagnum moss. Because of the water-retentive mix, repotting can happen every year. Did you Some species are endemic to just a few islands. For example, Dendrochilum cobbianum is know? endemic to the Philippine islands of Luzon and Mindanao. Did you This genus is affectionately known as the golden chain orchid, due to the flower spikes know? often looking like golden chains or bracelets..

Using the “Seidenfaden collection” in Copenhagen as an example, we address the common view that botanical garden collections of orchids are important for conservation. Seidenfaden collected live orchids all over Thailand from 1957 to 1983 and created a traditional collection for taxonomic research, characterized by high taxonomic diversity and low intraspecific variation. Following an extended period of partial neglect, we managed to set up a five-year project aimed at expanding the collection with a continued focus on taxonomic diversity, but widening the geographic scope to tropical Asia.

    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 25 April 2014 Marie Selby Botanical Gardens The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens is a tropical oasis in the midst of downtown Sarasota, Florida. Located on Sarasota Bay, the beautiful 8.5 acres of display gardens focus on orchids, bromeliads and other epiphytic plants. Epiphytes, or air plants, live on other plants or structures, but are not parasitic on their hosts. Orchids are just one of many types of epiphytic plants at the Gardens.The Gardens were created more than 25 years ago by a gift of Marie Selby, a long-time Sarasota resident and philanthropist, “to serve the people of Sarasota as a beautiful and peaceful garden where one may enjoy the splendor of the plant world in one of the most lovely settings in Florida.” She and her husband Bill were Marie Selby Botanical Gardens is located in bustling frugal millionaires that made huge contributions to Sarasota, Florida. their community through numerous local nonprofi t organizations.

In this study, two new natural hybrids, Pleione × baoshanensis and Pleione × maoershanensis, were described and illustrated. The parentage for these two hybrids was confirmed using molecular data from ITS of the nuclear ribosomal, trnT-trnL spacer and trnL-trnF region (trnL intron and trnL-trnF spacer) of the plastid DNA. Pleione × baoshanensis is intermediate between P. albiflora and P. yunnanensis, and characterized by its erose lamellae on the lip. Meanwhile, Pleione × maoershanensis is intermediate between P. hookeriana (P. chunii) and P. pleionoides, and characterized by its deep lacerate lamellae on the lip. For the individuals tested, molecular data suggest that P. albiflora is the maternal parent of Pleione × baoshanensis, and P. hookeriana (P.

Revision accepted: 30 December 2018. Abstract. Munawaroh E, Yuzammi. 2019. Species diversity of Orchids in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, Lampung, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: xxxx. Orchids, belonging to the family Orchidaceae, are well known ornamental plants due to their beautiful flowers and varied colors. The members of this family have received more scientific attention than other plant families because of their unique botanical features and economic value. This study was conducted to explore and record the species diversity of Orchidaceae in Sumatera, especially in the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP), Lampung, Indonesia. This research was carried out from 2011 to 2014 at four locations, namely Kubu Perahu Resort, Sukaraja Atas Resort, Pugung Tampak Resort and Sekincau Resort, using purposive sampling method. A total of 132 species belonging to 52 genera of orchids have been identified from BBSNP, Lampung, of which 37 genera are epiphytic orchids and 15 genera are terrestrial orchids. Two species namely, Vanda sumatrana and Grammatophyllum speciosum, have been recognized as protected species. Vanda sumatrana is also endemic to Sumatera. These orchids are also cultivated at Liwa Botanic Garden, as an ex situ conservation.
