Ever popular among orchid growers but often overlooked by dry plant enthusiasts, Dendrobium kingianum is an Australian species whose mostly terrestrial habit lends itself well to s taying tidy in a pot. The flowers are small and variable in color, but always produced in abundance and carrying a powerfully sweet fragrance. In their native range from Queensland to New South Wales they can be found in many different settings, from steep rocky cliffs to riverbanks, which says plenty about their adaptability in cultivation. We push them to the limit with great results, growing them in pure pumice and bright light, exposed to high summer heat and kept covered but still subject to light frosts in winter. Show more
