Dendrobium rhodostictum x sib 4in

A fragrant Nobile-type Dendrobium from Papua New Guinea. Compact plants that will produce floppy white flowers with purple tips in clusters at the top of the growths. This is a species that is commonly used in compact Dendrobium hybrids such as Den. Nora Tokunaga. They are charming little plants that grow vigorously. 

As a general rule, Dendrobiums generally enjoy warmer, wetter Spring-Fall and cooler, drier Winters. Once new growth begins emerging in the Spring, resume regular watering and fertilizing.

Blooming size but will not arrive in bloom unless specified.
