Dendrobium Spring Dream 'Apollon'

[e-spice]

A favorite nobile that's easy to grow and pretty fragrant too. I've had it about 17 years now. A classic!

Simply superb! I first fell in love with nobiles in 1982.

does it flower off leafed canes?

Yes, it does. Seems like it sometimes flowers off canes that aren't leafed too sometimes.

Mine rotted. Hoping some of the canes I saved re establish. How do you grow? I’d do s/h but I think the container too big

Mine is grown in S/H. For S/H culture, find the smallest size pot you think it will fit in. Go with a size smaller than that and you should be good

I went big since it was so top heavy

Check to see if the name is den. Spring Dream 'Apollon" not den. Apollon'Spring Dream'.
Unless there is another cross named Apollon .
17 years , it got to be one of the one close to the original (it won't be one of those with genetic drift from cloning .
does it have a original Yamamoto tags ?
Even Yamamoto website describes "Apollon" with pink tip, I remember this clone has a pure white flower with green throat where as the sibling Spring Dream 'Kumiko' has a pink touch at the tips of the petals & sepals .

maybe at my temperature, the "apollon" could not bring out the pink tip and actually look pure white as a photo.
and at that temperature, the 'kumiko' clone can have the color very close to yours , pink tip and green throat not yellow throat .

You're exactly right! Thanks for catching my mistake. I corrected it now. I order this from one of the Hawaii vendors and I'm pretty sure it was Carmela. I knew there were several clones of this hybrid. I recall this one was definitely the 'Spring Dream' clone. The original tag broke years ago. I remember it had some verbiage that propagation of the plant wasn't allowed.
