Overview

Filling rooms with waves of fragrance and spectacular pink-blushed white, waxy blooms, this air-purifying orchid produces up to 16 stunning flower clusters that can persist for an impressive 8-10 weeks. Dendrobium 'Kumiko 'captivates not only with its long-lasting spring and summer display but also with its fascinating epiphytic (tree-clinging) nature, evident in the impressive aerial root systems that naturally grow on trees and rocks in the wild. These dramatic roots dangle freely, absorbing atmospheric moisture and adding architectural interest even when the plant isn't in flower. Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard.

Care guide

Place this orchid in a bright spot but not in direct sun in a moderately warm room when in flower. Let the compost dry out slightly on the surface before watering with tepid soft water, or rain water, allowing anyexcess water to drain away and then remove - it's important that the plant is not left sitting in water. Make sure the plants have good air circulation around the crown, mist regularly with water and feed with orchid fertiliser throughout the growing season. Once it has flowered you can trim off the spent flowers but leave the 'cane 'stems as they may support some more flowers in the following years. Over time some of the older 'canes' may become a bit woody and shrivelled - these can be cut off at the base as long as there are three new healthy canes withleaves. To flower in subsequent years the plant will need cool temperatures and less water in the autumn and early winter for the buds to develop. Once the buds have formed, however, you can increase the watering and move it back to a warmer room to enjoy the floral display.
