A primary hybrid between Den. gonzalesii and Den. cuthbertsonii f. pink, combining the compact, free-flowering habit of both parents with star-shaped blooms of soft rose-lilac sepals and petals surrounding a striking tubular orange-gold lip with red markings. The pink form is a selected color variant that blooms prolifically and holds its flowers for an exceptionally long period.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid harsh midday sun, which can stress the compact foliage and pseudobulbs.
-
Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); intermediate to cool grower. Cool nights are important for triggering and sustaining bloom cycles.
-
Humidity: 70–90%; high humidity is beneficial. Ensure strong air movement to prevent fungal issues around the dense, compact growth.
-
Watering: Keep evenly moist during active growth; reduce slightly after flowering. Never allow roots to sit in standing water.
Additional Notes
Best grown in a small pot or mounted on cork with fine sphagnum or bark mix. Shipped bare root with a healthy, well-established root system — ready to pot upon arrival.
