🌸 Dendrobium Orchid – Care Guide

Dendrobium is a large and diverse genus of orchids prized for their elegant sprays of colorful blooms, often growing along tall, cane-like stems. They come in many varieties, but most popular types (like Dendrobium nobile and Dendrobium phalaenopsis) share similar care needs. These orchids are perfect for indoor decoration or tropical garden displays.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light.

• Indoors: place near an east- or south-facing window with filtered light.

• Outdoors: grow in dappled shade or under a tree canopy.

• Too much sun = scorched leaves; too little = weak growth and fewer flowers.

💧 Watering

• Water thoroughly, allowing the medium to dry slightly between waterings.

• Typically, once or twice a week—more in hot weather, less in cooler months.

• Avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent root rot.

🌱 Soil / Medium

• Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as bark chips, sphagnum moss, or perlite.

• Never plant in standard potting soil—it retains too much moisture.

💦 Humidity

• Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%).

• Mist lightly in dry environments or place a humidity tray nearby.

• Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal issues.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–30°C (65–85°F).

• Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

• Many varieties benefit from a slight temperature drop at night to trigger blooming.

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) every 2–3 weeks during active growth.

• Reduce or stop feeding in winter or dormancy.

• Use diluted strength to prevent salt buildup.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• After flowering, cut flower spikes at the base once dry.

• Do not cut green canes—they store nutrients and may rebloom.

• Repot every 2–3 years or when medium breaks down.

🌟 Blooming Tips:

• To encourage flowering, ensure bright light and allow a cooler nighttime temperature (especially for Dendrobium nobile).

• Some varieties may enter dormancy in winter—reduce watering but don’t let the canes shrivel.

⚠️ Pet Note:

Dendrobium orchids are non-toxic to pets and people.
