Dtps, A New Orchid?

You have seen these orchids in stores or nurseries and you have seen them in books. A Dtps. or Doritaenopsis is a moth orchid hybrid, a cross with a Phaleanopsis and a Doritis.

The Dtps. is a beauty and by definition it is smaller than its larger relative, Phalaenopsis. Being smaller it can fit into smaller places like on a sill or small corner table.

Dtps. or Doritaenopsis are very easy to grow and are a great beginner orchid. As we are seeing more and more hybrids you too will see more in our Orchid Store . You will note that they usually have multiple flowering spikes. They are generally slightly more expensive but the bloom longer and have more colors than the traditional parents.

Care of the Dtps. is easy, water only after the plant has dried out and fertilize with half strength balanced mixture probably every other week while in bloom. They should be in bright light but not in direct sun. An East facing window is best.
