Dendrobium 'Eima Impact' Not Blooming: Rest Period and Light Requirements

Two Years No Blooms? Check Rest Period and Light

Dendrobiums need a distinct rest period: drastically reduce water, STOP fertilizing. Resume both when NEW GROWTH appears.

Bloom Booster Timing

Feed bloom booster ONLY during active growth (after rest), not during rest.

Light = Cane Color

• Best flowering: HIGH light → canes turn straw-yellow.
• Dark green canes = too little light.

Hybrid Type Clue

'Eima Impact' unregistered—unknown parentage. But flower formation reveals type:

• Buds directly on canes = cool grower (needs 50s°F nights).
• Flower spikes from cane tops = warm grower (75–85°F).

Richard, induce rest, crank up light, match temps to growth type. Blooms will follow.
