Dendrobium Orchid – Nopporn Gold Variety - 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: They 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.

🌍 Origin
