The Dendrobium secundum is native to Malaysia, Borneo, the Himalayas, Myanmar through Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines. 

Dendrobium secundum is also known as the toothbrush orchid. The common name refers to the fact that all the flowers faced the same direction, much like the bristles of a toothbrush.

Can be mounted on tree barks or planted in a well drained pot filled with perlite and charcoal fragments.
It produces large spikes of many small blooms atop leafless canes. The flowers are deep purple in color, slightly fragrant and can last for three months. Canes with leaves do not flower.
