Dendrobium Swiss Mountain Palace 'Pepe' (Big)

A cross between Den. Mtn's Butterfly Kisses and Den. cuthbertsonii, this exquisite miniature hybrid delivers the signature long-lasting, richly colored flowers of cuthbertsonii on a compact, multi-crowned plant. Offered here in a larger-than-standard commercial size, this specimen is well-established and ready to reward its grower with an impressive floral display.

• Light: Moderate indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun to prevent overheating.
• Temperature: Cool grower. Daytime 58–68°F (14–20°C), nighttime 48–55°F (9–13°C); consistent cool conditions are essential for continuous blooming.
• Humidity: 70–85%; use a humidifier or terrarium with constant air movement to prevent rot at roots and crown.
• Watering: Keep the medium evenly moist at all times; never allow roots to dry out completely, and ensure excellent drainage.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork bark or tree fern, or in very small pots with fine sphagnum moss; demands cool, humid conditions year-round for optimal performance.
