Description
Dendrobium ellipsophyllum is a charming orchid species found in Southeast Asia. The plant is identified by its short, clustered pseudobulbs, which are covered by papery sheaths. Its leaves are elliptical and relatively small, adding to its compact appearance. The flowers are typically white or pale pink, often with a yellow or orange lip. This orchid prefers bright, indirect light and high humidity. It is often mounted or grown in small pots with a well-draining medium. Good air circulation is crucial to prevent fungal issues, which can be common in humid environments.
