A rare Nobile-type Dendrobium native to the Chinese Himalayas and Thailand with dark purple throated flowers. This variety has subtle pink tips to the petals and sepals along with a gold lip. Very eye-catching blooms with spiced clove fragrance. 

This is a mature, blooming size plant. Photo is representative of the blooms you can expect but may not be identical. Unless stated, orchids will not arrive in spike or bloom. 

NOBILE DENDROBIUM CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Coarse orchid bark or well-draining bark mix. Repot in Spring once root bound. Do not allow bark to become waterlogged.

Light: Bright indirect - partial direct light. Shaded South or West facing preferred. Bright North is also acceptable.

Water: Water frequently in hot months when media is dry. Stop in the cold months, watering only enough to prevent dramatic shriveling of the canes. These enjoy rapid wet/dry cycles. 

Temp: Intermediate-warm (55F min night, 90F max day).

Humidity: 40-80%, tolerant of low humidity with adequate watering.

Fertilizing: 1/2 strength urea-free fertilizer, every other watering as new roots and leaves emerge. Decrease or stop fertilizing in winter. General rule: begin in Spring, stop in Winter.
