Here’s a detailed care guide for Dendrobium(ds-066):

🌤️ Light

• Needs bright, indirect sunlight for 4–6 hours daily.

• Morning or late afternoon light is ideal.

• Avoid direct harsh midday sun, which can scorch leaves.

• Leaves should be light green — dark green means not enough light.

🌡️ Temperature

• Thrives in warm to intermediate temperatures:

  • Day: 25–32°C

  • Night: 16–20°C

• Can tolerate slightly higher temperatures if humidity is maintained.

💧 Watering

• Water well when the top layer of the mix starts to dry.

• Keep slightly moist during the growth period (spring to early autumn).

• In winter or rest phase, reduce watering — just enough to prevent canes from shriveling.

• Always use pots with drainage holes to prevent root rot.

💨 Humidity

• Prefers 50–70% humidity.

• Use a humidity tray or mist the leaves in the morning.

• Provide good air circulation to avoid fungal issues.

🌱 Fertilizing

• Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) every 2 weeks during active growth.

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

• During dormancy, fertilize once a month or stop feeding until new shoots appear.

🪴 Potting & Medium

• Use a loose, airy mix like orchid bark + charcoal + perlite.

• Repot every 2–3 years or when roots outgrow the pot.

• Best time to repot: just after blooming, when new roots begin.

3🌼 Flowering

• DS-066 usually flowers once or twice a year with long-lasting blooms (2–4 weeks).

• Flowers appear on the upper nodes of mature canes.

• Do not cut old green canes — they can rebloom or help new growth.
