Here’s a detailed care guide for Dendrobium(ds-066) — one of the hybrid Dendrobium orchids known for its vibrant blooms and easy maintenance 🌸

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.
