What are Dendrobiums?
  • Dendrobium is a large genus of tropical orchids that consists of about 1200 species.
  • The name is from the Greek dendron (meaning tree) and bios (meaning life).
  • The genus occurs in diverse habitats throughout much of south, east and southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Borneo, Australia, New Guinea and New Zealand.
  • The species are either epiphytic, growing on a tree, or occasionally lithophytic, growing over a rock.
