epindrum orchid plants

This easy-growing, pendulous Dendrobe flowers freely in humid, intermediate to warm temperatures. 5. This a very unusual Dendrobium that I picked up from a show in Honolulu a few years ago. It can bloom anytime of the year, but seems to be triggered by a specific combination of night vs. day temperatures. Club-shaped pseudobulbs taper suddenly into a long thin "stem" from which the short-lived blooms appear along the nodes. Another unusual characteristic -- blooms can appear from previously flowered nodes! 1. This deciduous, pendulous Dendrobium is purportedly able to have canes up to 10' long, though mine have only grown as long as 4', with mildly fragrant light pink blooms 1. that are relatively short-lived (1 to 2 weeks). Very easily propagated with numerous keikis forming on old canes. 5. This a very unusual Dendrobium that I picked up from a show in Honolulu a few years ago.

Numerous color variations exist - pink, red, white, and even some bicolor mutants!
