Orchid not in bloom.
Bare root
The Dendrobium discolor, commonly known as the Golden Orchid or Antler Orchid, is Australia's largest orchid species, with pseudobulbs that can exceed 2 metres in length . Native to the coastlines of northern Queensland, New Guinea, and Indonesia, this impressive plant grows naturally in mangroves, open forests, and even on exposed coastal rocks . It's not especially difficult to keep alive, but success requires two things: plenty of space and a seasonal dry rest over winter to trigger those spectacular spring blooms. Grow in bright light (it can handle direct morning sun) with coarse bark mix or mounted on a slab. Water freely during the warm, wet summer months, then reduce significantly in winter — this mimics its natural monsoon habitat . The twisted, antler-like flowers range from honey-brown to clear golden-yellow (var. broomfieldii) and appear on long arching stems . While common in Australian gardens, it remains a sought-after collector's item elsewhere.
