orchids
Description
Dendrobium wardianum is a popular and beautiful orchid species native to the Himalayas. It's known for its large, showy flowers that appear along the canes. The flowers are typically white or pink, often with a yellow or orange throat and purple tips. Its pseudobulbs are thick and can grow to a considerable size. Its leaves are lance-shaped. This orchid thrives in bright, indirect light and cool to intermediate temperatures. A dry rest period in the winter is crucial for triggering flowering, and avoiding overwatering during this time is important.
