Dendrobiums are among the most commonly encountered orchids in the retail trade today. This is a large genus of over 1,000 species, ranging from India and Sri Lanka, eastward to Japan and southward through the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, New Guinea, to Australia, the Pacific Islands, and New Zealand. The Dendrobium is extremely variable. They are mostly epiphytes and lithophytes, growing in various conditions from cool to warm, shade to full sun. |
