Dendrochilum pangasinanense

Native to the Philippines, where it grows on rocks along roadsides in bright, sunny conditions. This orchid's inflorescence produces upwards of 12 alternating, fragrant flowers that dangle pendulously from the arching flower spike.

We have seen lots of success growing this species in medium to bright light in either sphagnum moss or fine bark mixes.

This plant flowers from its newest growth. If you don't see the flower spike right away, check inside the emerging growth—it often hides there before becoming visible!
