Dendrobium amabile, also known as Dend bronkartianum, is a rare species from Indo China. Long lost to cultivation apart from a few plants in European collections, this has now been successfully raised in flask.
One of the orginial parents of the well known Dend mousmee, it is similar in habit and flower to Dendrobium farmerii, but the plants are huge in comparison, to 80 cm tall, with large grape like clusters of white flowers flushed pink and the yellow orange labellum.
Best grown under intermediate conditions, in a basket or well drained pot in a media that will saty damp but not wet. A drier rest during the cooler months will promote flowering in the Spring.
