Dendrobium jenkinsii

Dendrobium jenkinsii is a small-sized, warm to cool growing, epiphytic orchid found throughout India and South-East Asia. These stunning little orchids form dense clusters of small pseudobulbs, each with a terminal leaf. Inflorescences develop from the apex of the pseudobulbs in early spring, creating a stunning display of molten yellow, honey-scented flowers.

CARE:
Requires bright, filtered light outdoors, sheltered from any direct sun. Being an epiphytic species, Dendrobiums can either be mounted on your choice of raft or potted in a well-draining orchid pot using small-medium grade orchid bark. If mounted, Dendrobiums will require increased humidity and very frequent watering to maintain adequate hydration. Potted Dendrobiums require frequent and thorough watering, allowing water to run completely through the pot. Fertilise fortnightly with an orchid specific fertiliser throughout spring and summer.
