Dendrobium glomeratum Rolfe 1894 is an epiphytic growing orchid species, native to the Maluku islands, an archipelago in Indonesia. This beautiful orchid is often labeled as Dendrobium sulawesiense Erfkamp & O. Gruss 2000, which is just accepted as a synonym by the science of botany. Flowers get a size of about 3 cm in diameter. Flowering period: Spring, Summer. Dendrobium glomeratum orchids are protected by CITES Appendix II (trade controlled to avoid use incompatible with species survival). The small-sized, tropical orchid requires intermediate to warm temperatures, medium amounts of light and a well-drained potting mixture. Plants should be kept moist, but not sogging wet, during the growth season. During the winter rest waterings should be decreased,
until new growth appears in spring.
