Dendrobium fimbriatum - Showy Orchid with Golden-Yellow Flowers

Native to India and Southeast Asia, Dendrobium fimbriatum is a captivating orchid prized for its vibrant golden-yellow flowers and sweet fragrance. This showy species is a popular choice for orchid enthusiasts and a delightful addition to any collection.

Distinctive Features

Growth Habit: This epiphytic orchid, meaning it grows on trees, has long, pendulous canes that can reach up to 1 meter (3 feet) in length. The canes are adorned with numerous, leathery leaves, providing a lush backdrop for the vibrant flowers.
Flowers: The most striking feature of Dendrobium fimbriatum is its clusters of golden-yellow flowers, which can measure up to 7 cm (2.8 inches) in diameter. The petals and sepals are typically a rich yellow color, while the lip is often fringed and adorned with darker yellow or orange markings. The flowers are also long-lasting, providing weeks of enjoyment.
Fragrance: This orchid emits a sweet, honey-like fragrance, especially during the day, adding to its allure.

Care Tips

Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
Water: Water regularly, keeping the potting media moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during the winter months.
Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity levels, around 50-70%. You can achieve this by misting the plant regularly or using a humidity tray.
Temperature: This orchid prefers intermediate to warm temperatures, ideally between 18-28°C (64-82°F) during the day and 13-18°C (55-64°F) at night.
Potting Media: Use a well-draining orchid potting mix, such as bark or a mixture of bark and sphagnum moss.
Fertiliser: Fertilise weakly, every other week during the growing season (spring-summer) with a balanced orchid fertiliser.
Air Circulation: Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

Additional Notes

Dendrobium fimbriatum is a relatively easy orchid to care for, making it suitable for beginners.
Its fragrant blooms and graceful pendulous canes make it a standout in any orchid collection.
This orchid can be grown in pots, baskets, or mounted on cork bark.
With proper care, Dendrobium fimbriatum can bloom reliably for many years.
