Dendrobium candidum is a kind of cool perennial herb. It grows in a warm, humid environment with annual rainfall of more than 1000 mm and half-yin and half-yang. The subtropical deep mountain old forest with an average temperature of more than 8 in January grows better. The suitable growth temperature is 15 to 28 degrees, the suitable growth air humidity is more than 60%, the soil fertilizer requirements are not strict, and the wild grows on loose and thick bark or trunk, and some also grow in stone cracks. It belongs to the aerial root system, which mainly requires good root permeability. The substrate used should be able to ventilate and filter water. Under appropriate temperature and humidity, it has a fast growth rate and strong survivability. Inflorescences are drawn from the upper nodes of the biennial stems at the end of spring and early summer each year. After flowering, new shoots develop from the stem base and develop into stems.

The ornamental value is very high, the flowers are elegant, exquisite and lovely, the colors are bright, and the scent is fragrant. It is known as one of the "four major ornamental flowers".
