Dendrobium kingianum is an extremely easy orchid that anyone can grow. It's a fast-growing orchid that tolerates a wide range of conditions, making it perfect for the beginning orchid grower. Its long-lasting blooms (flowers last around a month) also produce a beautiful fragrance. It comes from eastern Australia where it can handle temperatures near freezing in the winter, and into the triple digits in the summer. You can grow Den. kingianum inside the home or office, or outdoors (just bring it in during before freezing). It will adapt to any kind of loose media such as bark or even rocks (it is also known as the rock orchid). It only needs light, water, and occasional fertilizing to thrive. The canes (also called keikis) offered here (singly or mounted on cork bark) are aerial propagations from a larger plant. They are blooming size and can bloom late winter or spring. This orchid is like a kitten or rabbit -- born practically ready to breed! We offer these canes individually or in small groups, or best of all, mounted on cork bark for a very natural and attractive look. Hang your mounted orchids anywhere in the home where they'll get a bit of natural light, or on a patio or tree in your yard and watch your orchid thrive! Dendrobium kingianum would make a perfect addition to any orchid or plant collection, or a wonderful gift for someone who enjoys growing beautiful plants and wants to grow an orchid that you can't find at the supermarket. Growing instructions are included. Mounted version comes with a bendable hanging wire. PLEASE NOTE: These plants are NOT IN BLOOM when shipped. They may not have roots when shipped but they root VERY easily in a couple of weeks (which is fast for orchids) when planted in moist media (or even a 1/2 inch of water!).
