# Another 10 dollar score from the post orchid show sale. No ID on this…

_Posted by Jen on 2026-03-29_

Another 10 dollar score from the post orchid show sale. No ID on this one. From my limited research, it looks like it’s related to the Dendrobium Chan Chao. It’s my first dendrobium. I would have guessed some kind of epidendrum or epicattelya. Anybody know these types well? Is this variety recognizable to you? Any tips for care and culture?

I’m not familiar with this particular variety. I find dendrobiums in general to be fairly straightforward. Mine are kept in similar light as my cats. They want a lot of light so could possibly handle more. They want to be crowded so tiny pots. And they want to dry out. Watch the canes. They’ll tell you what you need to know.
