Here’s a detailed care guide for Dendrobium (ds-029):
🌿 General Overview
Botanical Name: Dendrobium spp. (Hybrid DS-029)
Common Name: Dendrobium Orchid
Type: Epiphytic perennial orchid
Growth Habit: Upright canes (pseudobulbs) with alternating leaves and terminal flower clusters
Flower Color (DS-029): Typically rich purple, pink, or white shades (depending on hybrid line)
☀️ Light
-
Needs bright, indirect light for best flowering and compact growth.
-
Can tolerate gentle morning or evening sun, but avoid harsh midday light.
-
Too little light = no blooms; too much = yellowed or scorched leaves.
✅ Best placement: East-facing window, shaded balcony, or filtered greenhouse light.
💧 Watering
-
Water 2–3 times per week in warm months.
-
Allow the top 2–3 cm of the medium to dry before the next watering.
-
Reduce to once a week in winter or during dormancy.
💡 Tip: Use rain or filtered water; Dendrobiums prefer to dry slightly between waterings.
🌡️ Temperature
-
Ideal range: 18–30°C
-
A slight night temperature drop (5–7°C lower) encourages flowering.
-
Protect from cold drafts and avoid exposure below 12°C.
🌫️ Humidity
-
Thrives in 50–70% humidity.
-
Mist lightly in the mornings or use a humidity tray in dry environments.
-
Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal problems.
🌱 Potting Medium
-
Use a well-draining orchid mix such as:
-
50% orchid bark + 25% charcoal + 25% coco chips or perlite.
-
-
Roots need airflow — never use compact soil.
-
A clay or ventilated orchid pot helps excess water drain easily.
🌸 Fertilizer
-
Feed every 2–3 weeks during active growth (spring–autumn).
-
Use a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) at ¼–½ strength.
-
Before blooming, switch to a bloom booster fertilizer (10-30-20).
-
Reduce or stop feeding during winter dormancy.
🪴 Repotting
-
Repot every 2–3 years, preferably after flowering.
-
Remove old medium and trim dead roots.
-
Choose a pot just large enough for the root ball — Dendrobiums bloom better when slightly root-bound.
✂️ After Bloom Care
-
Remove spent flower spikes, but keep green canes intact — they store nutrients and may rebloom later.
-
Continue light watering and feeding to support new cane growth.
-
Older canes can produce keikis (baby plants) in the next season.
⚠️ Common Problems Dendrobium (ds-029)
| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow leaves | Overwatering or natural leaf drop | Adjust watering; remove only old leaves |
| Wrinkled canes | Underwatering or root issues | Check roots and increase watering frequency |
| No blooms | Low light or no cool period | Increase bright light and provide night cooling |
| Root rot | Poor drainage or soggy medium | Repot in airy mix and trim rotten roots |
🌿 Propagation
-
By keikis (baby plants):
-
Small shoots may appear on old canes.
-
Wait until roots are 4–5 cm long before removing.
-
Pot in a small orchid mix and keep warm and humid until established.
-
🌸 Blooming Tips
-
Bright, filtered light + mild nighttime temperature drop = abundant blooms.
-
Stop fertilizing once buds form to prevent dropping.
-
Avoid moving or disturbing the plant during blooming.
-
After flowering, continue normal watering to help new growth develop.
