Grow your own tropical fragrant orchid garden - indoors or outdoors. Their life cycle consists of three stages, which include the flowering stage (winter to spring), the growing phase (summer to autumn) and dormancy (late autumn to winter). The Dendrobium Orchid is one of the more light-tolerant orchids available and as such, it can withstand direct sunlight in the morning.
For best results choose an area that boasts early sunlight, followed by an afternoon of shade. Dendrobiums will emerge in February with their blooms lasting approximately six weeks. In cooler temperatures, they can re-bloom up to three times a year.
The Dendrobium Orchid requires water once a week in most cases. When spring arrives, you should refrain from adding any more fertilizer unless no new growth has appeared. In this case, choose a fertilizer with high amounts of phosphorus (10-30-20).
When the orchid is in full bloom, fertilizer is not required.
