Dendrobium Orchids Comes In Beautiful Colors

Very Easy To Care.  Just paying close attention to Dendrobium Orchid's growing conditions is key for a healthy, well-blooming plant. In general, Dendrobium  orchids like small pots where their roots can be somewhat cramped, and they need to be by a bright window if you're keeping them indoors. Plan to water and feed your orchid often during the growing season but then back off in the winter months.

These plants generally send up at least one new upright cane each year. Don't cut off old canes, as they store nutrients and water to keep the orchid healthy. Old canes also will sometimes flower or produce tiny plants, called keikis (pronounced "kay-keys"), that can be potted on their own after they develop roots. The long-lasting sprays of flowers remain in bloom for roughly six to eight weeks, and they can make excellent cut flowers. In optimal conditions, your plant might bloom multiple times per year. If blooming seems suboptimal, try providing your orchid with more light.

Light

These plants grow well in partial sunlight in nature. But indoors they'll likely need to be by your brightest window—preferably a south-facing window—to bloom well. The appearance of keikis can mean the plant isn't getting enough light. On the other hand, if you see yellow leaves, you might have given the plant too much direct sunlight.1

Soil

Orchids don't grow in typical potting soil but rather in a specialmixture that mimics their environment in the wild. Use a commercial orchid potting medium, which generally contains peat moss, perlite, or fir bark. Or make your own using those ingredients. Make sure the medium has aeration and is well-draining, so the roots aren't left in too much moisture for a lengthy period of time.

Water

During the growing season, these plants like moisture but shouldn't sit in a saturated medium. Overwatering can lead to root rot and ultimately cause the plant to yellow or wilt. To determine when you should water, simply stick your finger in the medium. If it feels wet, wait to water until it has slightly dried out. During the winter months, you can put a few more days in between your regular waterings, but don't let the medium dry out entirely.

Temperature and Humidity

Dendrobium orchids like warm climates and prefer a temperature above 60 degrees Fahrenheit at all times. They might be able to withstand slightly cooler nighttime temperatures down to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, but prolonged exposure to cold isn't ideal. Furthermore, they prefer a humidity level between 50% and 70% (with a minimum of 45%). Brown leaf tips can be a sign that the air is too dry for your orchid.2

Fertilizer

Feed regularly during the growing season with a balanced orchid fertilizerfollowing label instructions. At the end of the growing season, reduce fertilizer by about half.
