So, i have this dendrobium k. and i got it to flower this year but with only one spike. it lived in an unheated shed in an east facing window with alot of neglect some orchid fertilizer every month until the flower spikes formed and then i brought it inside. The heat seemed to not be that good for the flowers. Can i grow this orchid ouside in dry shade in a raised bed of bark or sand or something. I've seen some denros k. in a very large pot at the local college outside next to a building underneath a shade structure. Do you think this would be better? would i get more flowers? I love this little plants. it is so dainty and beautiful if I could incorporate it into some part of my woodland garden i would be so thrilled. What do you folks think. Also, this is the only orchid I have, and I'm very inexperienced with orchids. There are lots more Psuedobulbs? forming and i think they need space to root. Its looking like a double decker orchid and its in a 3-4 inch plastic pot with bark. Could these new parts lean on a tree trunk, root and climb up? Just a wild idea. Also we are in a costal climate with a strong marine influence lots of fog in the summer but no rain. If this isn't possible could anyone recommend a hardy orchid for me? I've got cymbidium. There not my favorite. I like pink, white, purple. I looked at some hardy orchid websites. What about the "crane" shaped one?
