Dendrobium Brimbank You Beauty 'Dieter' × Auscobber 'Kings Park'

Dendrobium Brimbank You Beauty 'Dieter' × Auscobber 'Kings Park' is an Australian native Dendrobium seedling cross (cross number 5181) bred from two compact kingianum-alliance parents. Brimbank You Beauty 'Dieter' is valued for its strong colour and neat upright canes; Auscobber 'Kings Park' contributes vigour and rich pink to magenta tones. The photographs show the parent plants. Individual seedlings will vary in flower colour and form.

What to expect

• Flowering: Spring. Upright to arching spikes carrying multiple flowers above the canes.
• Flowers: Expected range of pink to magenta tones drawing on both parents. Lip colour and patterning will vary across individual seedlings.
• Plant: Compact upright hard-cane habit. Supplied in an 80mm pot as an established seedling.

Growing notes

• Temperature: Cool to intermediate. Hardy and well-suited to outdoor growing in southern Australia. Protect from frost.
• Light: Bright filtered light. Morning sun is beneficial; avoid harsh afternoon exposure.
• Water: Water freely during summer growth. Reduce significantly in autumn and winter — a dry winter rest is important for flowering.
• Feeding: Balanced fertiliser during the growing season. Cease in late autumn through winter.
