Dendrobium Nobile - White Orchid

Dendrobium orchid is commonly known as the noble dendrobium, is a member of the family Orchidaceae. It has become a popular cultivated decorative house plant, because it produces colourful blooms in winter and spring, at a time when little else is in flower.

The Apollon is the most versatile Dendrobium. The stems are totally covered with buds. The flowers are as white as snow and have a soft yellow centre. This gives the plant a luxurious and restful look.

The Dendrobium nobilé is originally from Asia and Japan, where it grows on the trees like an epiphyte. It distinguishes itself from other orchid varieties by its special inflorescence. Most orchids flower at the top of the branch but the Dendrobium nobilé forms flower clusters in the armpits of the leaf. This means that it blooms over the entire length of the plant.

The most famous Dendrobium nobilé species is the Dendrobium nobilé "Apollon". This beautiful white orchid fits into any interior and also has a good shelf life.
