Dendrobiums are sympodial epiphytic orchids and popular potted flowering plants and cut-flowers around the world due to their floriferousness, wide range in flower colour, size and shape, year round availability, and lengthy vase life. Elite species of Dendrobium are used as parents for breeding programmes to develop outstanding hybrids of special merit. Native species are used as genetic resources for crop improvement programmes, potted plants, dry flowers, hanging baskets, tree mounting, and medicinal purposes Dendrobium hybrids are used as cut-flowers, pot plants, in bouquet arrangements, and for display in exhibition. In the present study,agricultural practices including post-harvest management and value addition of tropical, subtropical, and temperate species and hybrids of Dendrobium are discussed in details.
