Dendrobium Miniature Orchid – Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light. East or south-facing windows are ideal. Avoid harsh midday sun.
• Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures — 65–85°F (18–29°C) during the day, 55–65°F (13–18°C) at night.
• Humidity: Likes high humidity (50–70%). Use a humidity tray or room humidifier if indoors.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the medium is nearly dry. Typically once a week. Do not let it sit in water.
• Air Circulation: Needs good air flow to prevent rot and fungal issues.
• Potting Medium: Use a chunky, fast-draining orchid mix (bark-based).
• Fertilizing: Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced orchid fertilizer, diluted to half-strength.
• Repotting: Every 2–3 years or when the potting medium breaks down.
• Rest Period (for some types): After blooming, reduce watering and stop fertilizing for a few weeks to encourage reblooming.
