Dendrobiums are among the most commonly encountered orchids in the retail market.
Like most other cultivated orchids, dendrobiums are epiphytes, or air plants. They should be potted in porous, free-draining media, never potting soil. There are many different types of dendrobiums available, many of which bloom twice a year and some that only bloom in spring or fall. Denphalaenopsis is one of the fall blooming species which will be available through Bloomin' Delights in the coming weeks. Sufficient light is important for healthy growth and flower production.
