Dendrobium Enobi

This dendro falls under miniature category. Bulb height is less than 10 cm. Can shoot flower stalk when the bulb only 6cm tall.
First time blooming already present me with 2 flower stalks in one plant. Flower count per stalk is 8.
Definitely prolific bloomer and a must have item for miniature orchid collector.

Before I forgot. The price of enobi around 2 to 3 times of regular dendrobium.  I bought mine at Rp. 60k (around USD5).  The price has dropped significantly. Compared to the price of enobi 3 years back, the price now is less than half.

With many flower count, this species can decorate any home for weeks....

Lc Sweet Sugar

This catt is mini type.  Short bulb around 8 to 10 cm. Solid yellow colour with contrast red lip.
The flower almost over, so the seller discount the price to Rp 80k (around USD6)

Matured plant with 2 buds.
I hope the bud will be more in the next blooming season.

Dendrobium Paragon (Hybrid)

This dendro has short bulb.  Bulb height around 15cm.  Sturdy flower stalk. The flower itself quite big around 6 cm wide.
After the flower season is over I plan to change the medium with charcoal (Currently is Kaliandra, which is a bit slow to dry)
Eye catching, bright color and does not require much space. Recommended for beginner.
