Orchid ‘Dendrobium Tetragonum Var. Gigantum X Tetragonum Var. Alba’

Dendrobium tetragonum var. giganteum x tetragonum var. ‘alba’ is crossbred to produce unique flowers. This sympodial orchid has mainly green to gray, notable rectangular pseudobulbs. On the apical side of each pseudobulb, two to three lanceolate, thin leaves are produced. From in between the leaves, at the topside of the pseudobulbs, a short flower stalk could be formed that carries 2 to 6 scented flowers. The pendant flowers are around 1.5 cm long and have a base faint yellow color. The folded labellum shines with a bright white. This species flowers over longer periods of time; from autumn to spring new flower stalks could emerge. Older plants could reach a significant size over time and could grow out to a real specimen if cared for the right way. Propagation is easiest by dividing. Make sure every division has at least three pseudobulbs.
