orchids
Description
Dendrobium bellatulum is a compact and charming orchid species native to Southeast Asia. It is prized for its small, round flowers, which display a creamy white color, often with a prominent orange or yellow lip. The plant has short, clustered pseudobulbs that are typically covered with sheaths. Its leaves are relatively few, adding to its compact appearance. This species thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers high humidity. For successful cultivation, use a well-draining potting mix and allow the plant to dry slightly between waterings, particularly during its rest period.
