Care Instructions for Dendrobium Supan King Orchid:
- Light Requirements: The Dendrobium Supan King Orchid thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight, especially during midday hours, can scorch the leaves, so it’s best to provide filtered or dappled light. An east or west-facing window is ideal, offering the plant consistent but gentle sunlight throughout the day.
- Watering: Water the orchid thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of the potting medium feel dry. Orchids prefer to dry out slightly between waterings, so avoid overwatering. During the growing season (spring and summer), water once a week, but reduce watering during the dormant period (fall and winter) to about once every 10-14 days.
- Temperature: The ideal temperature range for Dendrobium Supan King is 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). This orchid can tolerate warmer temperatures but should be kept away from cold drafts and should never be exposed to frost. A temperature drop during nighttime can also help encourage blooming.
- Humidity: Orchids generally thrive in 50% to 70% humidity. If you’re growing your Dendrobium Supan King indoors, consider using a humidity tray, or a room humidifier, especially in drier environments or during winter when indoor air tends to be drier. Good air circulation is essential to prevent fungal growth, so ensure the plant is placed in a location with adequate airflow.
- Fertilization: Use a balanced orchid fertilizer (such as a 30-10-10 formula) diluted to half strength. Fertilize every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer), and reduce feeding during the dormant months (fall and winter). Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can damage the roots and leaves.
- Repotting: Repot the Dendrobium Supan King Orchid every 1-2 years to refresh the potting medium and encourage healthy root growth. Orchids generally prefer to be slightly root-bound, so only repot when the roots outgrow the current container or the potting medium has started to break down. Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as bark, perlite, or coconut husk, and make sure the pot has drainage holes.
- Pruning and Flower Care: After blooming, you can prune the flower spike back to its base once it turns brown. If the flower spike remains green after flowering, it can potentially rebloom in the next season. Regularly remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain the orchid’s health and appearance.
