Dendrobium — 16 species

Dendrobium is one of the largest orchid genera, encompassing epiphytic species such as Dendrobium nobile, Rock Lily, and White Dendrobium, grown for their elegant sprays of long-lasting blooms. They thrive in bright indirect light — a bright windowsill suits most, though direct afternoon sun can scorch pseudobulbs and leaves. Water weekly during active growth, allowing the medium to dry slightly between sessions; reduce watering after flowering to encourage reblooming. The ASPCA lists orchids as non-toxic to cats and dogs, making Dendrobium a safe choice for pet households.
