The flowers of the Dendrobium orchid usually bloom during the transition from winter to spring. They grow in clusters, are white in color, and emit a gentle fragrance. However, if not cared for properly, the Dendrobium orchid may not flower for several consecutive years.
With its enduring and vibrant green foliage, the Dendrobium orchid is often used as an ornamental plant for decorating homes, offices, or businesses. The green-leaf Dendrobium orchid is a type that has entirely green leaves. The reason for the orchid’s fully green leaves is because it is grown in a shady environment with a lack of sunlight.
The most popular and common type of Dendrobium orchid is the variegated leaf type. Unlike the entirely green leaf type, when the Dendrobium orchid is grown in a well-lit environment, it will produce leaves with yellow stripes.
