Dendrobium wardianum – Cool to warm growing Species from SouthEast Asia. Flowering occurs in late winter to early spring with Caramel Fragrance!  The flower color is white and purple tips with yellow throat and dark eyes.

These Dendrobiums have 2-4 canes, some are 1 to 2 feet long, blooming in late Spring to early Summer. These are deciduous and will lose their leaves in winter or spring just before or as they are flowering. 

These species need a cold winter rest in order to bloom. Blooms on old and newly matured leafless canes. They are heavy feeders and want abundant water in their growing cycle from April to October. Grow them in an area of filtered sunlight. Avoid direct midday sunlight, unless you are close to the mountains and have a lot of cloud cover. Plants look better with full growths when they are not in bloom!

Water should be gradually reduced through the late autumn and winter and then in January the water and fertilizer should be curtailed and the plant should be left to completely dry out with fertilizer and water being reintroduced only after the onset of new growth in the spring.

NOTE: This type of Dendrobium drops its leaves just before coming into flower season. Once the plant is done flowering new growths will emerge from the base of the plant.
