Here’s the detailed care guide for Dendrobium (ds-038):

🌿 General Overview

Botanical Name: Dendrobium spp. (Hybrid DS-038)
Common Name: Dendrobium Orchid
Type: Epiphytic perennial orchid
Growth Habit: Upright canes (pseudobulbs) with alternating leaves and clusters of showy flowers
Flower Color (DS-038): Usually bright purple, white, or pink — depending on the hybrid


☀️ Light

  • Requires bright, indirect sunlight for strong growth and abundant blooms.

  • Can tolerate mild morning or evening sunlight, but avoid direct midday rays.

  • If leaves turn dark green, it needs more light; if yellowish, reduce light exposure.
    Ideal location: Near an east or north-facing window or bright shaded balcony.


💧 Watering

  • Water 2–3 times per week during warm months.

  • Let the top layer (2–3 cm) of the potting medium dry before the next watering.

  • Reduce watering to once a week in winter or during dormancy.
    💡 Tip: Avoid standing water — Dendrobiums prefer slight dryness between waterings.


🌡️ Temperature

  • Ideal range: 18–30°C

  • A cooler night temperature (5–7°C lower) helps trigger flower spikes.

  • Avoid exposure below 12°C or cold air drafts.

🌫️ Humidity

  • Prefers 50–70% humidity.

  • Mist lightly in dry conditions or use a pebble tray beneath the pot.

  • Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.


🌱 Potting Medium

  • Use a chunky, well-draining orchid mix:

    • 50% orchid bark + 25% charcoal + 25% coco chips or perlite.

  • Roots need airflow; avoid compact soil.

  • Transparent or slotted orchid pots help monitor root health.


🌸 Fertilizer

  • Feed every 2–3 weeks during active growth (spring–autumn).

  • Use a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) at ¼–½ strength.

  • Before blooming, switch to a bloom booster (10-30-20).

  • Reduce or stop fertilizing during dormancy.


🪴 Repotting

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

  • Best done after flowering, when new shoots appear.

  • Trim dead roots and replace with fresh, airy orchid mix.


✂️ After Bloom Care

  • Cut off spent flower spikes but keep green canes intact — they store nutrients.

  • Old canes may produce keikis (baby plants) or help nourish new growth.

  • Continue regular care to support new shoots.


⚠️ Common Problems Dendrobium (ds-038)

Problem Cause Solution
Yellow leaves Overwatering or old leaf drop Adjust watering; remove dead leaves only
Wrinkled canes Underwatering or root damage Check roots and adjust watering
No blooms Low light or no cool period Increase light; provide night temp drop
Root rot Poor drainage Repot in airy orchid mix; trim damaged roots

🌿 Propagation

  • Keiki propagation:

    • Small baby plants may form on old canes.

    • Once roots reach 4–5 cm, detach and pot separately.

    • Keep in warm, humid conditions until established.

🌸 Blooming Tips

  • Provide bright filtered light and nighttime cooling before the flowering season.

  • Use bloom fertilizer (high phosphorus) 4–6 weeks before bloom time.

  • Avoid repotting just before or during bloom — it may abort buds.

  • Stable humidity and airflow improve flower life.
