The challenge of getting these magical, mysterious and temperamental plants to grow well and flower is what makes them so rewarding,” shares Paul.
A sudden loss of older flowers with a yellowed stalk is a sign of prolonged droughts. Especially during the flowering process, near-continuous moist bark is mandatory for extended blooms; allow the roots to turn a green-greyish colour in between irrigations. A good way to water your orchid is to soak the moss in water. Alternatively, let the water run through the plant thoroughly, allowing the water to drain from the bottom. Yellowing leaves can be a sign both of too much or too little water, so pay attention to your plant and your watering habits to adjust accordingly.

The Dendrobium genus encompasses many species, each with unique care requirements. However, most dendrobiums generally thrive in warm conditions (60-85°F) during the growing season. A winter rest period with lower temperatures and reduced watering for three to four weeks can be effective to encourage your dendrobium to rebloom. While some dendrobium species may only rebloom once, others could rebloom several times annually. Dendrobium orchids are a genus of epiphytic orchids, known for their linear leaves and attractive sprays of showy flowers. Caring for a Dendrobium that is mounted in a tree cork is quite costly as higher humidity levels are needed which means you will have to water the plant on daily basis as well as spritzing it. Bear in mind that water or moisture-holding soils cause rotting roots and stems, consequently leading to loss of the Dendrobium’s vibrancy and possibly death of the entire plant.
Dendrobiums are the most common type of Dendrobium species. Most of the plants are pendulous, with leaves all along the canes that most often drop with the onset of cooler, drier weather. They boast one to five flowers per node of the leafless canes in midwinter through early spring.With over 1,800 species of Dendrobium orchids found in the world, this is one of the largest genera within the orchid family and its popularity has led to the cultivation of many hybrids. Some effective ways of managing these pests include spraying insecticidal soap solutions directly onto affected areas once every two weeks until there is no more sign of infestation. For larger infestations use horticultural oil sprays or systemic pesticides following label instructions carefully. You could also use companion planting – planting herbs like basil, chives or mint next to your vegetables acts as a deterrent against pests while attracting beneficial insects such as bees and ladybugs that help pollinate flowers and eat other insects. There are two types of Dendrobiums; those that produce flowers along the shaft in between the leaves ( N obile), and others that produce a spike at the top ( Phalaenopsis). The flowers can last up to two months and can bloom at any time, most commonly during late winter. The best way to tempt any Orchid into flowering is by reducing the temperature in the winter; have a read of the 'Dormancy Period & Annual Flowers' above for more information on this...
