Couldn't load pickup availability
Latouria-type Dendrobiums are vigorous growers and easy bloomers provided they are given enough light. As a general rule, dendrobiums generally enjoy warmer, wetter Spring-Fall and cooler, drier Winters. Flowers are similar to Den. Chocolate Chip in appearance. As a miniature Den, it will not reach the typical large size of similar hybrids. Smells like cinnamon or Snickerdoodles. Flower appearance may vary between plants.
