Dendroboium 'Blue Sky'
They are beautiful blue flowers with twisted, thin petals and darker lips. It is a vigourously growing hybrid.

Propagation of Dendrobium:
Aerial Growth or Keiki: Dendrobium can be propagated by laying the chopped canes between the nodes and laying them on fresh, damp compost. Keikis or aerial growth will develop at the nodes. Cutting the canes into pieces could create more than one keiki per stem.

Divide Clumps: Division of large clumps is a straight forward method to remove the plant from the pot and cut the clump into segments.

Dendrobiums bloom from the old pseudobulbs and from the new growth. The flowers last for 6 to 8 weeks and they make excellent cut flowers.
