Noble rock orchid (Dendrobium nobile) is a houseplant for containers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 11 and warmer, down to about 40°F (4°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. The fragrant flowers open in early to late spring and again in early to late winter. It stays evergreen and reaches 12 to 24 inches tall.
