Dear siriusmk,

Your new Dendrobium is definitely a nobile-type or nobile hybrid, or a softcane Deendrobium as they are sometimes called, but I do not believe it is a species Den nobile. the flowers are far too full and round thd the plant too "beefy" for it to be the species. These guys love LOTS of water when in active growth but come autumn they must be allowed to dry out with no water at all (and high light) during the winter. Most folks who have these dont' fertilize them.
