Dendrobium kingianum
Pink Rock Orchid - Captain Kings Dendrobium
Description
Dendrobium kingianum, commonly known as the Pink Rock Orchid, is a popular epiphytic orchid prized for its clusters of showy flowers. The flowers, which come in shades of pink, purple, or white, are typically fragrant and appear in spring. The plant's pseudobulbs are cylindrical and its leaves are narrow and leathery. Native to Australia, this orchid thrives in well-draining conditions and bright, indirect light. When cultivating, provide a well-draining growing medium and allow the plant to dry out between waterings. Propagation is typically done through division or keikis (plantlets that form on the stems). Dendrobium kingianum's attractive flowers and relative ease of care make it a favorite among orchid enthusiasts and a beautiful addition to any home or garden.
