Our native species are from Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea. Most of us are hybrids of Dendrobium phalaenopsis which is native to New Guinea. We love warm, moist and sunny environment. Gardeners get our new plants by suckering in March, also, replace the soil in the flowerpot at the same time
