What do antelopes have to do with orchids? Look at the graceful, spiraling petals on these tropical beauties, and you’ll understand. Antelope Dendrobiums are a popular section of the enormous Dendrobium<\/a> family. Their upward-twisting petals inspire the antelope horn comparison.<\/p>\n

\"Dendrobium<\/a>\"Antelope<\/a>\"Dendrobium<\/a><\/p>\n

There are several dozen species and a growing number of hybrids<\/a> with these curvy blooms. Most all have sweet fragrances. Some have petals with a single twist; others boast elegant spirals, or ruffled edges. The species are native to rainforests from Southeast Asia to Northern Australia, concentrated in New Guinea.<\/p>\n

\"Dendrobium<\/a>\"Dendrobium<\/a>\"Antelope<\/a><\/p>\n

They are warm growers<\/a>, and require similar care as their relatives, the Den-Phals<\/a>. Give Antelope Dendrobiums plenty of water<\/a>, morning sun<\/a>, regular fertilizer<\/a>, and high humidity<\/a>. They don’t really go dormant<\/a> in winter, but they don’t need as much water or fertilizer in the weak winter sun. Most varieties can grow into large plants, so they won’t fit on a windowsill. If you have enough space, these amazing orchids with a twist will add beauty and fragrance to your collection.<\/p>\n
