The variegated cultivars of Dendrobium moniliforme have been grown in Japan for hundreds of years, but are rarely seen in the West.
They are horticultural selections of an epiphytic orchid common in warm-temperate East Asia, found in the wild growing on branches and trunks of trees, and on rock outcroppings. Dendrobiums are naturally dormant in winter, when they lose most or all their leaves, and if kept dry, will take frequent below-freezing temperatures.
