A friend gave me a small dendrobium keiki this morning. I'm not really a dendrobium grower...with only a few of the 'evergreen' types, which do fine for me outdoors. This one, however, is the type that blooms on bare, trailing canes. He admitted the plant itself always looks "awful," except for the new growth...but that the dangling, thin canes would be covered with blooms eventually. I put this very small keiki in a 1" clay pot...with some barely moist sphagnum, then a layer of bark. I put it in this jar for consistent humidity...and placed it in a bright, indoor windowsill. I know if I sit this jar outside, I'll COOK the poor thing. Unfortunately, he had no ID for this. Any tips or advice?
