Dendrobium officinale seeds

LATIN NAME: Dendrobium officinale

COMMON NAME: Dendrobium

The dendrobium is the arching orchid of the warm wall, and the small, white-and-pink flowers open along the leafless canes. The epiphytic orchid carries the upright, fleshy canes with the narrow leaves along the upper parts, and the short, clustered sprays of the small, white, pink or purple flowers open along the older canes through the warm season. The plant is a fine, elegant presence of the warm wall, the conservatory and the orchid house. It is a plant of the bright, airy, sheltered spot.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The dendrobium is an elegant subject of the plant science, and the fleshy canes keep showing up in the work on the epiphytic orchids. The way the orchid germinates with the help of the symbiotic fungi has been examined closely, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the orchid mycorrhiza, the epiphyte ecology and the members of the orchid family. The upright, fleshy canes and the arching habit have also made it a fine study plant, and the dendrobium is a regular subject of the work on the epiphytic orchids of the warm world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The dendrobium is a fine, elegant orchid of the warm wall and the conservatory. The short, clustered sprays of the small, white-and-pink flowers open along the older canes through the warm season, one of the fine, graceful sights of the orchid house, and the canes have a long record in the old practice of the warm East as the tonic herb of the throat. The plant grows on the warm wall and the bark mount, and it is one of the fine choices for the orchid house, the warm conservatory and the epiphyte collection. It has been written up in the horticultural and the botanical papers for the arching sprays and the epiphytic ways, and it is a fine, elegant plant of the bright, airy, sheltered spot.

The dendrobium is one of the epiphytic orchids of the warm wall, and the canes have a long record in the old practice of the warm East. The seedlings grow on slowly with the help of the symbiotic fungi.

To grow the dendrobium from seed, sow the dust-like seeds across the surface of a pot of damp orchid mix, keep the pot in a warm, bright, airy spot and water gently, and be patient, for the seedlings of the orchids grow on slowly with the help of the fine, symbiotic fungi of the mix. The little green shoots come in their own good time and grow on steadily. With the warmth, the light and the air, the sprays will arch through the warm season.

Dendrobium is a type of orchid. The plant consists of a long, thin stem, which is golden yellow in color, with a flower at the end (which usually has five or six petals). Different varieties of dendrobium have different colors, but the most common colors are yellow and pink. The stem is used in herbal remedies.

In traditional Chinese medicine, dendrobium is used primarily to replenish fluids. It is commonly used as a yin tonic to moisten the stomach and lungs, and has also been traditionally used as a tea to replace kidney yin jing. It is very effective for treating conditions such as dry mouth, stomach pain, mouth sores, sunstroke, and other conditions caused by dry weather, pollution or smoke.

Additionally, dendrobium is used to enhance skin quality. Dendrobium keeps the skin moist; constant drinking of dendrobium tea is believed to result in soft, beautiful skin.

The typical recommended dose of dendrobium is between 6-12 grams, which is boiled in water and used as a tea. Larger doses (up to 20 grams) may be used depending on the condition being treated.
