(Den. Super Star × Den. Warabe)

‘Akebone’ mericlone.

Large pink blooms with an egg-yolk yellow center.

Easy to grow, great for mounting, and fragrant. Although plants are staked upright for greenhouse/commercial growing, the canes of Den. nobile hybrids are naturally pendulous. They require a dry rest in fall/winter until they produce buds late winter/early spring.

Plants Available: Growing in 4” and 5” pots. Plants available for the 4” Pot option are blooming-size/first bloom plants, which may produce few flowers in their first bloom cycle. Plants available for the 5” Pot option are mature plants with several canes. Orders will be filled with plants in bud/bloom as blooming season and blooming stock permit; otherwise, mature plants, previously bloomed.

Orchid Care: Grow in very bright indirect light. Blooming-size plants can be acclimated to direct sun, but will thank you if you give them shade/filtered sun during the hottest hours of the day during the summer (typically 11-3). Great for mounting on most palms. Water and fertilize regularly during active growth, but give plants a dry rest in the cooler months. At our nursery, this period is typically from Thanksgiving through Feb/March.

Note: Nobile-type Dendrobiums are deciduous—you can expect leaves to yellow and drop during their cool, dry rest period.
