Dockrillia toressae

Description

Dockrillia (syn. Dendrobium) toressae. Well-established blooming-size plants mounted on madrone. These plants were mounted in the summer of 2020.

A true miniature. This wonderful species from Australia has textured, succulent, alternating, tightly-packed leaves that turn red in high light. Over time, the plants form mats that completely colonize their mounts.

Most people grow this species mainly for the leaves and growing habit. The tiny flowers are just a bonus. The long-lasting, almost transparent, yellowish-green flowers appear frequently throughout the year. The flowers are large relative to the size of the foliage (but they’re still tiny!) and are long-lasting.


It’s a must-have for a collector of miniatures!

Care: Dockrillias are famous for being super resilient orchids; this species is no exception! It can handle near-freezing cold and sweltering heat (It experiences both seasonally in its native habitat). It does best in cultivation with cool-warm temps, regular watering spring-fall with less in the winter, and bright indirect light.
