Dendrobium griffithianum

Dendrobium griffithianum is a radiant orchid known for its dense, pendant clusters of golden-yellow flowers. The rounded blooms gather along arching inflorescences like drops of sunlight, creating a rich cascading display from mature canes.

Care Guide

• Light: Provide bright, filtered light, with gentle morning sun if available. Strong light during growth helps the canes mature and supports flowering.
• Water: Water generously while new growth and roots are active, allowing the medium to approach dryness between waterings. After the canes mature, reduce watering during a cooler, drier seasonal rest.
• Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity with reliable air circulation, even while watering is reduced.
• Temperature: Grow in intermediate to warm conditions during active growth, followed by cooler nights as the canes mature.
• Growing medium: Use a coarse, fast-draining orchid mix in a pot or basket with room for the pendant flower clusters. Repot as new roots begin to emerge.

With vigorous seasonal growth, bright light, and a cooler, drier pause, Dendrobium griffithianum can reward the grower with glowing cascades of gold that make a mature specimen unforgettable.
