Description

Dendrobium pseudoglomeratum OP in vitro

Name: Dendrobium pseudoglomeratum T.M.Reeve & J.J.Wood
Synonyms: Pedilonum pseudoglomeratum (T.M.Reeve & J.J.Wood) Rauschert
Etymology: Dendrobium (from the Greek dendron = tree and bios = life, referring to its epiphytic lifestyle on trees); pseudoglomeratum = falsely clustered / apparently clumped (Greek/Latin pseudo- = false and glomeratus = clustered/clumped, referring to its striking resemblance to Dendrobium glomeratum).

First described: in 1982 by T.M. Reeve and Jeffrey J. Wood.
Origin / Distribution: Papua New Guinea (endemic to the central mountainous regions).
Location / Habitat: Grows epiphytically in cool to temperate montane cloud forests at elevations of approximately 1,100 to 2,400 meters. After deflasking, it requires cool to temperate conditions, a bright location with plenty of indirect light (no direct, harsh midday sun), humidity of approximately 70–85%, and continuous, good air circulation.
Description & Notes: Dendrobium pseudoglomeratum is one of the most spectacular species in the section Pedilonum. The plant develops erect to pendent pseudobulbs and produces dense, spherical clusters of flowers, often appearing directly on older leafless canes. The waxy flowers are striking for their vivid contrast of intensely pink to magenta sepals/petals and a bright orange to yellow lip. The flowers are exceptionally long-lasting. After deflasking, the seedlings grow very well in small pots with airy pine bark or mounted on cork with a moist moss pad.

In-vitro culture: You will receive a flask containing 4 young plants. The plants are generally already large enough to be deflasked. After opening, carefully remove all the nutrient medium from the fine roots using lukewarm water and plant the seedlings in a fine, very airy, slightly moisture-retentive substrate with a little sphagnum. For the first few weeks, we recommend very high humidity, cool to cool-intermediate conditions, bright but sheltered light, and gentle, continuous air movement. Keep evenly slightly moist and avoid letting it dry out completely; introduce a pronounced rest period only once the plants are strong and established, and only in accordance with the respective parent species.
