Australian Dendrobium Orchids

This is a beautiful large Australian orchid.

Dendrobiums have 2 to 5 thick, leathery leaves on top of either large long or stumpy pseudobulbs.

In nature Dendrobiums grow in gigantic clumps on rock & cliff faces – with a dense mat of roots. In cultivation Dendrobiums are best grown in large orchid bark using handfuls of chicken pellets to feed them.

Dendrobiums flowers range from white, creamy yellow to a beautiful gold – the racemes can carry as many as 100 flowers.

Dendrobiums stems when roasted are actually edible.

The Asian hybrids are popular with specialist growers.
