Dendrobium x delicatum

An easy to grow Australian orchid bearing an abundance of long lasting, dainty, creamy white, five petalled flowers held in short spikes on the end of long succulent canes each topped with three or four, leathery, elliptic leaves. This clone has very long, radiating canes and mature specimens can easily exceed one metre in diameter. Ideal for a hanging basket filled with orchid bark (composted pine bark) or any other very coarse medium or else attach to a rough barked tree or convenient garden boulder. Keeping the roots constantly moist will ensure failure, it is imperative you allow the roots to dry out between watering and water less in cooler weather. Protection from desiccating wind and midday sun is beneficial otherwise treat it like your cacti.
