about Dendrobium kingianum on Jan 16 2010

One of the less spectacular orchids but very easy to grow in a temperate climate, they tolerate part shade to full sun and are great planted on masse in a rainforest garden. It has been reclassified as Thelychiton kingianum but is still mostly known as a dendrobium. It naturally occurs half way up the eastern coast of Australia (New South Wales and lower Queensland)in wet sclerophyll bush and temperate rainforests, growing usually lithophytically but also on logs. Keep humid but ensure good airflow, and treat like an orchid as far as growing media and fertilsation with a winter resting period. 2 to 7 leaves and up to 15 flowers per pseudobulb.
