GENERAL INFORMATION

• Native to Southeast Asia, the genus Dendrobium is one of the largest of all orchid groups.
• There are about 1,200 individual species, and they grow in all manner of climates, from hot, wet lowlands to high-altitude, colder mountains.
• Growers usually divide dendrobiums into groups based on their growing conditions.
• All dendrobiums are epiphytes, meaning that they grow on other plants.
• In nature, they grow on the branches of trees. Some are deciduous and some hold onto their leaves all year round.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Orchids don't grow in soil, but rather in a special mixture that mimics their environment in the wild.
• Purchase a commercial orchid potting medium, which contains peat moss, perlite, or fir bark, or make your own that has these ingredients in it.
• Make sure that the "soil" has aeration and is well-draining, so the roots aren't left in moisture for a lengthy period of time.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT

• Feed heavily during the growing season with a weak fertilizer solution containing lots of nitrogen, or use a balanced fertilizer (20-20-20) at quarter-strength with every watering.
• At the end of the growing season, reduce fertilizer by about half to help provoke a better bloom.

LIGHT REQUIREMENT

• These plants like strong, natural sunlight.
• They will grow in lower-light conditions, but it is unlikely the plant will bloom well.
• The appearance of keikis often means the plant isn't getting enough light.
• On the other hand, if you see yellow leaves you may have given the plant too much direct sunlight.

WATER REQUIREMENT

• During the growing season, dendrobiums like high humidity and lots of water.
• As with all orchids, the frequency of watering depends on your growing conditions, but at least weekly is a good idea during the summer.
• Don't leave them in a tray of water as that can rot the roots.
• After the growing season, cut water back somewhat (maybe every 10 days), but do not suspend watering.
