Dendrobiums are one of
the most popular of retail orchid
plants. They are a true epiphyte or air
plant. There pseudopods can gather and
hold water very efficiently.
Generally
there will be a hybrid phalaenopsis and dendrobium, commonly known as Dtps.
Dendrobium Potting
Dendrobium
potting
needs only to be done every two to three
years and it should be with a porous,
free draining media.
This may be a
combination of wood chips, small stone
and and pieces of styrofoam peanuts or
some cut coconuts and fixed on the palmtree.
This will allow the draining of water
and fertilizer. Dendrobiums seem to grow
best when the pot is smaller than the
size of the orchid plant

Lighting
The
dendrobium orchids require about 50% sun
or bright light. They will do well in an
east or west window as well as a shaded
south window. Actually dendrobium
orchids need light, the more the
better to maintain healthy
growth
Under lights, put three
40 watt incandescent lights
right over the orchid plants or
four - 40 watt fluorescent
lights directly over the plant.
Temperature
These
plants need a difference in temperature
between the night and day. Preferably
this difference should be about 10 - 15
degrees. The night temps they like is
60-65 with days between 80 - 90.
Air
circulation is needed and is especially
when the temps are above 90 degrees.
Water
Like most
orchids dendrobiums need to be kept
moist while
|
|
actively growing. When dendrobium are
mature, they should dry between
watering. Dendrobiums thrive when the
humidity is about 50 - 60%. Humidity
trays are usually needed while the plant
is in the home.
