Question
Is there a way to tell if a dendrobium is deciduous or ever green?  I just got a
den labeled eima impact.  it has pink and white flowers, the flowers look a little
like a skinny phal.
thanks for any help!

Answer
Hello Molly,

This is not true in all cases but usually if the flower spike grew out near the top of the growths (canes), it probably is an evergreen dendrobium.  If the flowers are along the side of the canes and on short stems, it probably is a deciduous type.  

Hope this helps clarify what type yours is.
