Dendrobium subuliferum

By Sandra Svoboda • November 18, 2025
Dendrobium subuliferum is endemic to New Guinea, growing epiphytically in primary and secondary forests at 300 to 2,000 meters (1,000 to 6,550 feet) but occasionally grows on the surface of the ground in shady, moss-covered locations. The sometimes fragrant flowers occur in the fall through spring. May be potted in sphagnum moss over bark or mounted. Repot any time new roots are growing.

Masdevallia angulifera

By Sandra Svoboda • November 17, 2025
Masdevallia angulifera is endemic to Colombia and found in cool, moist, cloud forests at 1,800 to 2,000 meters (5,900 to 6,550 feet). It blooms in the winter through spring with fragrant flowers that can last up to three months. It should be potted in an open, fast-draining medium with some material to retain some moisture. Repotting is done every year in the late winter or early spring, or may be done anytime between autumn and spring, that does not interfere with flowering.

Rhyncholaelia digbyana

By Sandra Svoboda • November 14, 2025
Rhyncholaelia digbyana (formerly known as Brassavola digbyana) is found in the southeastern Mexican states of Yucatan and Quintana Roo, with distribution extending through the Caribbean-facing lowlands of Belize into Honduras from 10 to 1,000 meters (33 to 3,281 feet). They grow on stunted trees in hot, humid lowlands near sea level. Often found in large colonies, it blooms in summer with large, fragrant flowers. This species does best mounted on wood or tree fern, given plenty of bright light and ample water while growing, and a lessening after the bulbs have matured. This plant, “Quinnelly’s Joy’ has both an AM and CCE awarded by the American Orchid Society.
