Dendrobium Burana White: Post-Bloom Care and Yellowing Leaf Causes

Spike Removal

Flowers gone → cut spike off at base. It won't rebloom on that cane.

Yellowing Leaves on Evergreen Dendrobium = Problem

Burana White is not deciduous. Yellow leaves indicate stress. Check these:

• Too much direct sun/heat: Bleaches/yellows leaves. Bright shade only.
• Evening watering/misting: Fungus → black sooty spots → leaf death.
• Temps >85°F: Cellular collapse (reflected heat counts).
• Low humidity (<40%): Desiccation.
• Dry between waterings: Never bone dry.

Correct Care

1. Bright shade, little/no direct sun.
2. Water when medium barely moist—morning only.
3. Humidity >40%; air movement.
4. Mist morning only if needed.
5. Repot annually in bark mix after bloom.

Most Likely Culprits

Direct sun + heat, OR evening watering. Fix these first; monitor new growth.
