Got this orchid for my terrarium in progress from my aunt, uncle and nephews and cousins!
Love it so much! My first big Dendrobium!

happy birthday to you 🎉 the orchid is lovely too! i hope you have an amazing day 🩷
Happy birthday, and congratulations on a great plant! Just so you know, this guy will want to stay pretty cool and dry in winter- difficult but not totally impossible in a terrarium! This is a direct descendant of Australian dendrobiums that grow on and next to rocks in nature, so I would recommend potting it directly into pumice/leca/ lava rock, slightly raised over your drainage/ soil layer in a terrarium, and making sure it can get good bright light year round. In the winter (Thanksgiving to Valentine’s Day) you likely won’t need to water it at all if there is plentiful ambient humidity. These guys are absolute beasts so don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works for you, those are just my tips for getting it to flower again!
