Dendrobium virgineum
Orchids
Description
Dendrobium virgineum is a delicate orchid native to Southeast Asia. It stands out because of its pure white flowers that give the plant its name, which means 'virgin'. The flowers are typically small and elegant, often with a yellow or orange lip. These flowers are known to have a light, pleasant fragrance. The plant produces slender, erect stems, which are generally covered with leaves. It prefers intermediate temperatures, bright, indirect light, and good air circulation. For cultivation, use a well-draining orchid mix, provide regular watering, and allow the plant to dry slightly between waterings. Fertilizing during the growing season helps to support healthy growth and abundant flowering.
