New Guinea Dendrobium Rest Period: Yellow Leaves Are Normal

Identifying Your Plant

"Den. Eima Lai" from Kerry's is a New Guinea dendrobium (mini type). After flowering, they enter a rest period: leaves yellow and drop, canes may shrivel slightly.

Rest Period Care

• Reduce watering to every other week (prevent rot, limit shriveling).
• Resume weekly water/feed when new growth appears.
• Bright light, good air movement, 50–80°F ideal.

Leaf loss now is normal, not fatal.
