Dendrobium Nobile Mix 50cm 2-Spike

This dendrobium nobile orchid is one of the most rewarding orchid plants you can give. Imported directly from Amsterdam as part of our limited consignment, each plant arrives with two thick, bamboo-like canes absolutely covered in plump buds from base to tip - ready to unfold into weeks of beautiful blooms.

What makes a dendrobium nobile so special is the way it flowers. Unlike orchids that bloom only at the tips, nobile buds appear at every node along the length of the cane. As each bud opens over the coming days, the entire stem transforms into a column of delicate flowers. It is like watching a slow, beautiful reveal.

This variety is a colour mix, meaning blooms will open in shades of pure white or soft white blushed with pink and purple at the petal tips. The surprise is part of the charm. Whichever colour emerges, each flower carries the classic nobile shape: rounded petals with a richly coloured lip at the centre.

Standing at 50cm with lush green foliage and those distinctive segmented canes, this dendrobium orchid has a sculptural, architectural quality that sets it apart from the more common phalaenopsis. It arrives beautifully gift-wrapped in charcoal-grey paper with blush-pink trim, ready to hand over without fuss.

A dendrobium nobile plant makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, housewarmings, thank-you moments, or anyone who appreciates something a little different. With bright indirect light and a cool rest period in winter, this orchid can rebloom year after year - a gift that genuinely keeps giving.

Same-day delivery in Cape Town when you order before 12pm. Limited stock from this Amsterdam import - once they are gone, they are gone.

FAQ 

How long do dendrobium nobile orchid blooms last?

Once open, dendrobium nobile flowers typically last four to six weeks. Because the buds open gradually along each cane rather than all at once, the total flowering display can stretch over two months or more.

How do I care for a dendrobium nobile orchid plant?

Place your dendrobium nobile in bright indirect light and water when the top of the potting mix feels dry, roughly once a week. They prefer slightly cooler temperatures than phalaenopsis orchids. After flowering, reduce watering and give the plant a cool rest period over winter to encourage reblooming the following season.

What colour will the flowers be?

This is a dendrobium nobile colour mix, so blooms will open in either pure white or white with pink-purple tones at the petal edges and lip. The buds arrive green and the colour reveals itself as they open, which is part of what makes this variety so exciting to watch.

Can a dendrobium nobile orchid rebloom?

Yes. Dendrobium nobile orchids are excellent reblooming plants. After flowering, keep the old canes in place as they store energy for new growth. A cool, dry rest period over winter (around 10-15°C at night) triggers new bud formation the following season.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers' life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day. 

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil's moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.
