Here’s the detailed care guide for Dendrobium (ds-038):
🌿 General Overview
Botanical Name: Dendrobium spp. (Hybrid DS-038)
Common Name: Dendrobium Orchid
Type: Epiphytic perennial orchid
Growth Habit: Upright canes (pseudobulbs) with alternating leaves and clusters of showy flowers
Flower Color (DS-038): Usually bright purple, white, or pink — depending on the hybrid
☀️ Light
-
Requires bright, indirect sunlight for strong growth and abundant blooms.
-
Can tolerate mild morning or evening sunlight, but avoid direct midday rays.
-
If leaves turn dark green, it needs more light; if yellowish, reduce light exposure.
✅ Ideal location: Near an east or north-facing window or bright shaded balcony.
💧 Watering
-
Water 2–3 times per week during warm months.
-
Let the top layer (2–3 cm) of the potting medium dry before the next watering.
-
Reduce watering to once a week in winter or during dormancy.
💡 Tip: Avoid standing water — Dendrobiums prefer slight dryness between waterings.
🌡️ Temperature
-
Ideal range: 18–30°C
-
A cooler night temperature (5–7°C lower) helps trigger flower spikes.
-
Avoid exposure below 12°C or cold air drafts.

🌫️ Humidity
-
Prefers 50–70% humidity.
-
Mist lightly in dry conditions or use a pebble tray beneath the pot.
-
Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
🌱 Potting Medium
-
Use a chunky, well-draining orchid mix:
-
50% orchid bark + 25% charcoal + 25% coco chips or perlite.
-
-
Roots need airflow; avoid compact soil.
-
Transparent or slotted orchid pots help monitor root health.
🌸 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 (10-30-20).
-
Reduce or stop fertilizing during dormancy.
🪴 Repotting
-
Repot every 2–3 years or when roots crowd the pot.
-
Best done after flowering, when new shoots appear.
-
Trim dead roots and replace with fresh, airy orchid mix.
✂️ After Bloom Care
-
Cut off spent flower spikes but keep green canes intact — they store nutrients.
-
Old canes may produce keikis (baby plants) or help nourish new growth.
-
Continue regular care to support new shoots.
⚠️ Common Problems Dendrobium (ds-038)
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow leaves | Overwatering or old leaf drop | Adjust watering; remove dead leaves only |
| Wrinkled canes | Underwatering or root damage | Check roots and adjust watering |
| No blooms | Low light or no cool period | Increase light; provide night temp drop |
| Root rot | Poor drainage | Repot in airy orchid mix; trim damaged roots |
🌿 Propagation
-
Keiki propagation:
-
Small baby plants may form on old canes.
-
Once roots reach 4–5 cm, detach and pot separately.
-
Keep in warm, humid conditions until established.
-

🌸 Blooming Tips
-
Provide bright filtered light and nighttime cooling before the flowering season.
-
Use bloom fertilizer (high phosphorus) 4–6 weeks before bloom time.
-
Avoid repotting just before or during bloom — it may abort buds.
-
Stable humidity and airflow improve flower life.
