Dendrobium nobile is the collective name for spring-flowering species in the genus Dendrobium. Dendrobium nobile is a deciduous species in the genus Dendrobium. The inflorescence is produced on the upper stem nodes of the pseudobulbs of the previous year, with 2 to 3 flowers in a bunch.

After the weather turns cooler in autumn, the plants gradually go…
