Dendrobium aspasia

Not a wild species: Dendrobium × aspasia is a 19th-century horticultural hybrid (GBIF lists it as Hor., 1892), so it has no native range or wild climate. Grow it the way its parent species are grown; old Dendrobium hybrids of this era were mostly made between the deciduous, winter-dry cane Dendrobium of the Himalaya and Indochina.
