In a recent posting, Nancy asked for the best way to grow Dendrobium chrysnathum. With its pendent growth habit, it is probably more easily managed if grown in a hanging basket filled with an open, fast-draining medium. It may also be grown mounted, but providing enough water when it is actively growing may present a bit of a problem if mounted. In any event hang it high and let the canes droop as they may. Plants in cultivation more than likely will not reach the extreme lengths described for plants in the natural habitat, but they may still attain rather long growths. With sufficient neglect and abuse, however, it is possible to create a moderately dwarfed specimen as I have been able to do.
