(Den. Fukujyu × Den. Yuubae)

‘Butterfly’ mericlone.

This nobile-type Dendrobium blooms in shades of pink and yellow with a dark brown center. The colors of the blooms become more prominent as the flowers age.

Easy to grow, great for mounting, and fragrant. Deciduous and pendulous, they require a dry rest in fall/winter until they produce buds late winter/early spring.

Plants Available: Growing in 4” Pots. An example of the size available is pictured. Orders will be filled with plants in bud/bloom as blooming season and blooming stock permit; otherwise, mature plants, previously bloomed.

Orchid Care: Grow in very bright indirect light. Plants can be acclimated to direct sun, but will thank you if you give them shade/filtered sun during the hottest hours of the day during the summer (typically 11-3). Great for mounting on most palms. Water and fertilize regularly during active growth, but give plants a dry rest in the cooler months. At our nursery, this is typically from Thanksgiving through early March.

Note: Nobile-type Dendrobiums are deciduous—you can expect them to drop leaves during their rest period.
