Dendrobium falconeri
orchids
Description
Dendrobium falconeri is a striking orchid species native to the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. The plant is known for its pendant growth habit, with long, slender pseudobulbs that cascade downwards. The flowers are typically cream-colored to white, often with purple or pink tips on the petals and a dark purple lip. Its leaves are small and lance-shaped, dropping during the dormant season. This orchid thrives in bright, indirect light and cooler temperatures. A distinct dry rest period in the winter is essential for triggering flowering. Avoid overwatering during the dormant period, as this can cause rot.
