🌿 Dendrochilum convallariaeforme ‘Twisty’ Terrarium Caresheet
General Overview
Dendrochilum convallariaeforme ‘Twisty’ is a miniature Philippine species with dense clumps of grassy leaves and arching sprays of tiny white, lily-of-the-valley–like flowers. The ‘Twisty’ form shows elegant spiraled inflorescences, making it a collector’s gem. In terrariums, it thrives under cool–intermediate conditions, high humidity, and bright filtered light.
🌡 Temperature & Climate
Range: 18–26 °C ideal (nights 15–18 °C).
Tolerance: Can handle occasional highs to 28 °C if humidity and airflow are good.
Best for: Cool–intermediate terrarium setups.
💡 Light
Type: Bright, diffused light.
Placement: East or shaded north window, or under LED grow lights (medium intensity).
Note: Too much shade = weak growth, no blooms. Too much light = leaf tips burn.
💧 Humidity & Watering
Humidity: 70–90% consistently. Loves humid terrariums.
Watering:
Keep medium lightly moist at all times.
Use rain, RO, or distilled water.
Never allow roots to dry completely or sit in stagnant water.
🌬 Airflow
Needs gentle, constant air movement.
Small fans or cross-ventilation prevent fungal issues.
Avoid stagnant, sealed terrariums.
🌱 Substrate & Mounting
Pots: Best in small clay or plastic pots with a fine, airy medium:
Fine bark + sphagnum moss + perlite/charcoal.
Mounting: Possible, but pots retain moisture better and reduce daily care.
Likes to grow in tight clumps—do not divide often.
🍽 Feeding
Fertilizer: Weak but regular.
1/8–1/4 strength balanced orchid fertilizer (e.g. 20-20-20).
Apply every 2 weeks during growth.
Flush monthly with pure water to prevent salt buildup.
🌸 Flowering
Blooms: Usually once or twice a year.
Display: Arching sprays of white, fragrant flowers with a delicate lily-of-the-valley look.
Flowers last 2–3 weeks if kept cool.
Adequate light + stable watering = reliable blooms.
✂️ Maintenance & Notes
Repot every 2 years, or when medium breaks down.
Keep plant slightly root-bound for best flowering.
Remove dead spikes and leaves to prevent mold.
Watch for mites, mealybugs, and scale.
