Description
This species is native to Southeast Asia from the Philippines to Thailand and Vietnam. This plant likes medium to bright light and develops growths over the summer that get pendulous canes. Water and feed well between March and mid November. Stop fertilizing in Mid November and only water enough to keep the canes from shriveling. Sometime in the winter flower buds will form along the cane and if the leaves haven't dropped before hand they will shed during flowering. When you see flower spikes emerging keep more moist at the roots to prevent bud blast. The flowers last about a month and smell like raspberries and cream.
The video above is of a hybrid called Nestor. This video has care information that is the same for Dendrobium anosmum ( superbum).
The plants offered are several years old and have several canes. The longest cane may be 30-36” long. We grow these in baskets in a pendulous manner although you can stake up the canes if you wish and slip the 6” basket inside a clay or plastic pot.
NOTE: This type of Dendrobium drops its leaves just before coming into flower season. Once the plant is done flowering new growths will emerge from the base of the plant
