Humidity: Dendrobiums are from very tropical
areas. Because they're so tall, get a bigger than usual humidity
tray.
Light and Air:
This is very important - good air movement prevents
water or mold from getting in the leaf joints. If you do get mold,
clean the plant with soap and water.
 Dendrobium
Nobile Type. |
|
Watering: Water your plant when, after
lifting the pot, it feels completely light in weight.
Fertilize fairly often with a high nitrogen fertilizer like
Wonderlizer 25-9-9.
Temperature: A temperature of about 62
is the coolest you can have before flowers will suffer.
Dendrobiums prefer regular warm/hot temperatures of about
70-90day and 65-75 night.
Potting: Repot every year
or two with medium to fine bark. |
