Dendrobium is a diverse genus of orchids native to tropical and subtropical Asia, Australia, and the South Pacific islands. Most are epiphytic orchids that grow on trees and rocks in humid forests.

Dendrobiums produce colorful, exotic-looking flowers that bloom prolifically in winter and spring. Popular dendrobium species kept as houseplants include the Dendrobium phalaenopsis hybrids with delicate, moth-like blooms and the Dendrobium nobile varieties, which produce abundant flowers on bare canes.

Dendrobium orchid care involves bright light, intermediate temperatures, and a winter rest period. With their brilliant sprays of long-lasting blossoms in white, pink, purple, and yellow, its collectors prize no-wonder dendrobium orchids.
