DENDROBIUMS 
Cane Orchids 
A truly great genus spread over the Old World of India, Burma, Malaya, Java, 
Philippines and Australia. They produce cane-like pseudobulbs varying in height from 
a few inches to several feet. The deciduous type (such as D. Nobile) produces flowers 
singly or in groups of 2 to 6 from the joints of the canes. The evergreen species (as 
D. Phalaenopsis) produce flowers in racemes of from 6 to 12 flowers. 
The climate of the Dendrobium regions is warm and humid during the summer and 
cooler and drier in the winter. This makes them quite adaptable to greenhouse grow- 
ing in northern temperate zones and outdoors in Florida, the Gulf states and southern 
California. Water frequently during the summer and feed every 2 weeks with Wilson's 
Orchid fertilizer. Rest during late fall and early winter by withholding water but 
syringing sufficiently to keep the canes from shriveling. After resting an increase of 
water will bring plants into flower. Hang near glass while resting. Dendrobiums 
may be grown hanging year round. Should be potted in small pots. Do not bury the 
canes is osmunda. Dendrobiums have a wide range of color: pure white, lavender, 
crimson, yellow, and orange. The flowering season can be extended throughout the 
year by having different varieties.

and feed regularly when growing. Decrease water and food when growth is finished 
but do not dry off severally. Many spikes per plant, many flowers per spike and all
