Different Dendrobium Orchids, different care requirements

One of the species of Orchids that is ever surprising for me is the Dendrobium. Just when you think you found a pattern, things change again 🙂 Here are a few of my Dendrobiums and their different care requirements.

Deciduous Dendrobium species are usually those who benefit from a winter rest, a distinct change in care that especially refers to watering and temperature. Now one might conclude that deciduous orchids will all take this rest, but as it turns out this is not the case. One of the deciduous species I have is the victoria reginae, which loses leaves, but doesn’t take a winter rest and prefers even watering all year round.

The Dendrobium parishii, even if deciduous, require different watering regimes in winter, in the rest period. So being deciduous is not a determining factor when it comes to this aspect of their care.

When we reffer to hybrids things can get even trickier, particularly when we have a hybrid between a rest taking orchid and a continuous grower. We can even encounter individuals of the same variety that will act different and require slightly different care.

Thus it is a good idea to research about our orchids and even learn what others have experienced with this orchid, this way we can at least have an idea of what to expect. Other than that, it’s trial and error 🙂
