Species native to cool regions, such as Dendrobium cuthbertsonii, and groups of hybrids based on them.
Evergreen perennials.
The form varies by species.
[Cultivation]
Propagate by division.
Grow it in a well-ventilated place.
It dislikes summer heat, so from spring to autumn place it in partial shade and mist the leaves to lower the surrounding temperature.
In regions where temperatures rise, it is better to keep it in a cool greenhouse in midsummer.
In poor light, it flowers poorly.
Strong summer sun scorches the leaves, so in midsummer move it to partial shade or provide light shading.
Plant it in sphagnum moss in an unglazed clay pot.
From spring to autumn, water when the surface of the planting material begins to dry; in winter, keep it slightly on the dry side.
Place oil cake on the soil once a month from spring to early summer.
Pests include scale insects and aphids.
