Here’s a detailed care guide for Dendrobium (ds-028) 🌸 — a hybrid Dendrobium orchid valued for its striking blooms and compact growth.
Here’s a detailed care guide for Dendrobium (ds-028):
🌤️ Light
Requires bright, indirect light for healthy growth and flowering.
Ideal exposure: 4–6 hours of filtered sunlight per day.
Indoors: place near an east- or south-facing window with sheer curtains.
Light green leaves indicate optimal light; dark green leaves mean too little light.
🌡️ Temperature
Thrives in warm to intermediate conditions:
Day: 25–32°C
Night: 16–20°C
Avoid temperatures below 12°C or cold drafts.
💧 Watering
Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 cm of the potting medium dries out.
Keep slightly moist during the growth season (spring–summer).
During resting period (winter), water sparingly — just enough to prevent canes from shriveling.
Use well-draining pots to prevent root rot.
💨 Humidity
Prefers 50–70% humidity.
Use a pebble tray or gentle misting if air is dry.
Maintain good air circulation to prevent fungal or bacterial problems.
🌱 Fertilizer
Feed every 2 weeks during active growth with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20).
Before flowering, switch to a high-phosphorus fertilizer (10-30-20) to promote buds.
During dormancy, fertilize once a month or pause until new growth begins.
Water lightly before fertilizing to avoid root burn.
🪴 Potting & Medium
Use a well-draining orchid mix: bark + charcoal + perlite.
Repot every 2–3 years or when the medium breaks down.
Best time to repot: after flowering, when new roots appear.
🌼 Flowering
DS-028 blooms once or twice a year, with flowers lasting 2–4 weeks.
Flowers appear on mature canes, usually on upper nodes.
Do not cut green canes after flowering — they store energy for future blooms.
