Identifying Your Orchid: A Dendrobium Care Guide

Your Orchid Is a Dendrobium

Photos confirm a dendrobium orchid, specifically an evergreen type. With over 30,000 species and 100,000+ hybrids, identification without images is nearly impossible.

Evergreen Dendrobium Care

• Light: Bright shade
• Temperature: 55–85°F (13–29°C)
• Humidity: Above 40%
• Air movement: Light breeze
• Water: When potting media is barely moist year-round
• Fertilizer: Balanced orchid fertilizer at ¼ recommended strength
• Bloom trigger: Expose to ~55°F nights in fall to initiate spike

These conditions mimic their natural habitat and promote reliable flowering.
