Dendrobium leucocyanum is a miniature orchid species native to the high-altitude montane forests of northern Papua New Guinea. It thrives at elevations between 2,130 and 2,590 meters, where it grows as a cold-loving, mat-forming epiphyte.

Features:

  • Habitat: Wet montane forests at elevations of 2,130–2,590 meters

  • Growth Habit: Miniature, creeping, mat-forming epiphyte

  • Pseudobulbs: Spherical to ovoid, ribbed, and wrinkled; reddish-brown with age

  • Leaves: 2–3 leathery, ovate-elliptic, purple-tinged beneath

  • Flowers: Pale blue to bluish-green, 0.8–1.1 cm, borne in dense clusters from leafless pseudobulbs

Care Tips:

  • Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

  • Temperature: Cool to cold conditions; daytime temperatures of 18–22°C (64–72°F) and nighttime temperatures of 10–14°C (50–57°F).

  • Humidity: High humidity levels, ideally around 70–80%.

  • Watering: Regular watering during the growing season; ensure the substrate remains moist but not waterlogged.

  • Substrate: Well-draining mix; can be grown mounted on cork or tree fern panels to mimic its natural epiphytic habitat.

  • Fertilization: Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at 1/4 to 1/2 strength every two weeks during the growing season.

  • Rest Period: Provide a dry winter rest with reduced watering to initiate flowering.
