Information about Dendrobium anosmum

Flower Size: 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm)

Description:

• This orchid is quite large and hangs down like a waterfall.
• It has straight rows of leaves that fall off at certain times.
• It’s found in places like Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua and New Guinea.
• Lives in the lower part of forests, not too high up, usually below 1300 meters.
• Its stems are long and thin, like a stick, and can grow up to 4 feet (120 cm).
• Each section of the stem is covered by a loose covering.
• The leaves are long and kind of oval, and they fall off too.
• When it’s warm or cool, it grows well.

Caring Tips:

• It needs a dry time starting around October. This dry time lasts until new leaves start growing in the early spring.
• In the spring, it shows off pretty flowers, about 8 to 10 of them. These flowers grow from the stick’s sections and are close to each other.
• The flowers smell a bit like raspberries.
• To help this orchid grow nicely, it’s best to put it on a piece of tree fern or cork.
• When new parts start growing in late spring, it’s time to give it water and food. This helps it grow up to 3 feet long by October.
• And then, it’s back to drying it out again!
