Paphioboy, the Dendrobium Gatton 'Sunray' must be a large sized plant. I saw one at Sg Buloh. It was the size of a potted palm and the flowers were huge. Is it flowering season for them?

man~,i love the shape of your amboinensis and does your gatton sunray expose to direct sun?

[atmccmn]

hahaahaa.....I like the way you name 'supermarket dendrobium'

Your amboinensis is pretty especially the prominent 'tiger stripes' marking.

funkychips, the Gatton 'Sunray' is actually not that big. it can bloom on just a few bulbs, but they must be mature sized. A seedling takes quite long to reach mature size, so a division is better. It is a very rewarding orchid. Now is the blooming season (March to May)..

kit1212, yes Gatton Sunray gets direct sun..

andy, its true. The dend came from Carrefour supermarket..

Hi guys,
been busy for the past few weeks and the internet speed at the rig is painfully slow. can't agree more with paphioboy regarding the gatton, here is mine which blooms a few weeks ago:



i give it full sun plus since it's fertiliser hungry, i also use orchid nugget so it can get some fert everytime it's watered.

Alright lah! The sifus/masters are talking. I get to learn more about growing orchids. Got myself a few more today but now sure with their names.
