Horticulture
Dendrobium is commonly abbreviated as Den in horticulture. Some species are in great demand by orchid lovers. This has resulted in numerous varieties and hybrids, such as the Noble Dendrobium (D. nobile) breeds, which have greatly extended the range of colors of the original plant from the Himalayas. The flowers of Cuthbertson’s Dendrobium (D. cuthbertsonii) have been reported to last up to ten months each.
Many Dendrobium species are known to vigorously remove toluene and xylene from the air.[5]
Several hybrids in this genus have been registered and named after notable persons and institutions:
- Dendrobium Bae Yong-joon
- Dendrobium Sccci 100th Anniversary
- Dendrobium Margaret Thatcher
- Dendrobium Iriana Jokowi
- Dendrobium Joseph Schooling
- Dendrobium Yip Pin Xiu
