orchids
Description
Dendrobium lindleyi, also known as the golden shower orchid, is a striking orchid species from Southeast Asia. It produces cascading sprays of small, bright yellow flowers that resemble a golden shower. The pseudobulbs are slender and can grow to a considerable length, often with a pendant growth habit. Its leaves are small, lance-shaped, and deciduous, falling off during the dormant period. The plant thrives in bright, indirect light and requires a cool, dry rest period during the winter to initiate flowering. Ensuring good air circulation is key to preventing fungal issues.
