Dendrobium cuthbertsonii f. red

Dendrobium cuthbertsonii f. red is a striking orchid species native to the high-altitude cloud forests of Papua New Guinea. Renowned for its vivid red flowers, this miniature epiphyte thrives in cool, humid environments with excellent air circulation. When grown indoors, it requires bright, indirect light and consistently moist, well-draining media to mimic its natural mossy tree bark habitat. Maintain temperatures between 55-75°F (13-24°C) and high humidity around 70-80% to encourage healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Regular misting and avoiding waterlogged conditions are essential to prevent root rot. This orchid’s unique beauty and specific care needs make it a rewarding choice for experienced collectors.
