Here’s a detailed care guide for Dendrobium ds-062 :

🌤️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect sunlight for optimal growth and flowering.

• Provide 4–6 hours of filtered sunlight daily.

• Indoors: place near an east- or south-facing window with sheer curtains.

• Light green leaves indicate perfect light; dark green = insufficient light.

🌡️ Temperature

• Thrives in warm to intermediate temperatures:

  • Day: 24–30°C

  • Night: 16–20°C

• Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 12°C.

💧 Watering

• Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 cm of the medium dries.

• Keep slightly moist during the growing season (spring–summer).

• During resting period (late autumn–winter), reduce watering — just enough to prevent canes from shriveling.

• Always ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

💨 Humidity

• Prefers 50–70% humidity.

• Use a humidity tray or gentle misting if indoors in dry air.

• Maintain good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.

🌱 Fertilizer

• During active growth, feed every 2 weeks with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20).

• Switch to a high-phosphorus fertilizer (10-30-20) before flowering to encourage blooms.

• Fertilize sparingly or pause during dormancy.

• Always water lightly before applying fertilizer.

🪴 Potting & Medium

• Use a well-draining orchid mix: bark + charcoal + perlite.

• Repot every 2–3 years or when medium decomposes.

• Best time to repot: after flowering, when new roots start forming.

🌼 Flowering

• DS-062 blooms once or twice a year, flowers lasting 2–4 weeks.

• Flowers appear on mature canes, usually along the upper nodes.

• Do not cut green canes after flowering — they store energy for future growth and blooms.
