Native to Fiji, New Guinea, and the neighboring islands. This is the alba form. Produces clumps of skinny white flowers in the Spring. Deciduous, requires dry rest in winter to induce dormancy. 

Small, near blooming size plant. 

Some leaf shed due to cold or shipping stress is normal. Should be grown with high (but shaded) light. Doesn't really care about humidity. Don't skimp on watering in the summer. Needs a dry rest period in winter.

 

DECIDUOUS 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. 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.
