Dendrobium Santi Fancy Care Guide

Light: Provide bright, indirect light or filtered morning sun. An east-facing window is ideal. Avoid harsh afternoon sun which can scorch leaves.

Watering: During active growth (spring-autumn), water when the potting medium is nearly dry. Reduce watering significantly in winter when the plant enters dormancy to encourage flowering.

Temperature: Prefers daytime temperatures of 18-28°C. Requires a cool rest period (10-15°C) in winter for optimal bud formation.

Humidity: Moderate humidity (40-60%) is sufficient. Mist occasionally in dry indoor environments.

Fertilizing: Apply diluted orchid fertilizer fortnightly during growing season. Stop feeding during winter dormancy.

Potting Medium: Grows best in well-draining orchid bark mix with added perlite.
