Orchid- Dendrobium Dream “Ace”

                                    

                                      ID#782

 

Dream Ace is a Nobile type dendrobium (the flowers grow out of the cane rather than on a stem).

Unlike other nobiles that bloom once a year and need a cool rest each winter, Dream does not need the cool rest and blooms twice a year.


Dendrobium are naturally epiphytic orchids that will thrive in hanging baskets with little or no potting media in ideal conditions, or they will do well in fast-draining media.
