CARING FOR YOUR DENDROBIUM NOBILE
INDOOR CULTIVATION
TEMPERATURE:
This plant grows best in daytime temperatures up to 20°C (68°F) with nights not below 13°C (55°F). It needs a cool period of about 8°C (48°F) during the winter for about three months to produce good flowers. It loves an airy position but avoid drafts and do not place near a radiator.
LIGHT:
Provide your plant with bright, filtered light throughout the year.
WATERING:
Water freely while the plant is growing in spring and summer. Water from the top and allow to drain thoroughly. Reduce watering during its cool period.
HUMIDITY:
If in a dry atmosphere, stand your plant on a moist gravel tray to create a micro climate and assist growth.
FEEDING:
Dendrobium benefit from regular feeding. Include orchid fertiliser in three out of four waterings during spring and summer.
POTTING:
Repot every two to three years when not in flower. Use an orchid mix that includes medium grade bark.
AFTER FLOWERING:
Remove dried-up flowers. Do not cut down the canes. Position the plant in a light, airy spot during its cool period.
Plant not for consumption!
