Dendrobium ‘Colour Dance’ Care Guide

Light: Provide plenty of bright, filtered light. Gentle morning sun can be beneficial, but protect the plant from intense afternoon sunlight that may scorch the foliage.

Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the growing medium to become slightly dry between watering. Avoid keeping the roots constantly wet, as good drainage is essential for healthy orchid growth.

Temperature: Grow in a warm, protected position with good airflow. Protect from frost, extreme heat and sudden temperature changes.

Humidity: Moderate humidity is beneficial. Maintain good air circulation around the plant, particularly during humid weather.

Fertilising: Apply a diluted, balanced orchid fertiliser regularly during active growth. Reduce feeding when growth naturally slows.

Potting Medium: Use a free-draining orchid mix, such as quality orchid bark, that allows plenty of airflow around the roots.
