Dendrobium aurantiiroseum

By Sandra Svoboda • November 21, 2025
Dendrobium aurantiiroseum is endemic to New Guinea, growing epiphytically in loose moss in shady, mountain habitats from 2,100 to 2,250 meters (6,900 to 11,000 feet) that blooms in the winter and spring. Though beautiful, this species is reportedly very slow-growing and difficult to cultivate. Growing conditions should be maintained year-round.
