Dendrobium Orchid – Burana Jade Jacky Hybrid - Assam Orchids

🌺 Introducing the Dendrobium Orchid

Enrich your indoor garden with the striking beauty of the Dendrobium Orchid, sourced from Assam Orchids. Highly popular for their prolific sprays of colorful, long-lasting flowers and sturdy cane-like stems, Dendrobium orchids are resilient and adaptable. They are perfect for adding vertical color and exotic flair to bright indoor spots.

💚 Care Instructions

• Temperature & Humidity: Thrive in temperatures between 18–24°C (65–75°F) during the day, with a slight drop at night. Maintain humidity between 50–70%; using a pebble tray with water underneath the pot can help.
• Potting Medium: Never use regular soil. Use a well-draining orchid mix containing fir bark, charcoal, or perlite.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced orchid fertilizer (like 20-20-20) every two weeks during the active growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the winter.
• Post-Bloom Care: Once the flowers fade, cut the thin flowering stalk where it meets the main stem (cane). Do not cut the thick main canes, even if they lose their leaves; these canes store essential nutrients and water for future growth and can sometimes bloom again.

☀️ Light & Water Needs

• Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight. An east-facing windowsill is ideal, or a shaded southern window. If leaves turn yellow, the plant may be getting too much direct sun; if they are dark green and it won't bloom, it likely needs more light.
• Watering: Water thoroughly (about once or twice a week) but allow the potting medium to almost completely dry out between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot.

📏 Size & Dimensions

• Pot Size: Standard nursery pot (specific size not provided by vendor).
• Expected Plant Height: Typically grows up to 12-18 inches with mature canes.

🌍 Origin

• The Dendrobium orchid genus is native to diverse habitats across Asia, from the Himalayas to Australia. Many hybrids, like the Burana Jade Jacky, are cultivated globally for their striking blooms and adaptability to home environments.
