Dendrobium nobile, commonly known as Noble Dendrobium, is an epiphytic or lithophytic orchid that originates from the lower montane and tropical forests of southern China, the Himalayas, and Indochina. It is a medium to fast-growing orchid that can reach up to 12-24 inches in height. The plant boasts cane-like pseudobulbs and elliptical leaves, producing clusters of fragrant, waxy flowers that range in color from white and pink to purple, typically blooming in winter and spring. The flowers are quite showy, often with a contrasting lip color, and can last for several weeks.

Noble Dendrobium is highly regarded for its striking floral display and is a favored choice for indoor cultivation, especially as a decorative houseplant. It thrives under high humidity conditions and requires bright, indirect light. During the growing season, it benefits from regular watering and fertilization but needs a drier rest period after flowering to encourage the next bloom cycle. It is also used in traditional Chinese medicine. While generally disease-resistant, it can be susceptible to pests such as scale insects and aphids. In cultivation, it is important to avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.CC BY-SA 4.0
