Dendrobium subuliferum

Dendrobium subuliferum is endemic to New Guinea, growing epiphytically in primary and secondary forests at 300 to 2,000 meters (1,000 to 6,550 feet) but occasionally grows on the surface of the ground in shady, moss-covered locations. The sometimes fragrant flowers occur in the fall through spring. May be potted in sphagnum moss over bark or mounted. Repot any time new roots are growing.
