Dendrobium Orchid (Assorted Colors)

Dendrobium 

Dendrobiums are primarily epiphytes, meaning they grow on other plants but don't take nutrients from the host. In general, these orchids like small pots where their roots can be somewhat cramped, and they need to be by a bright window if you're keeping them indoors. Plan to water and feed your orchid often during the growing season but then back off in the winter months.

Lighting: Provide bright light and position in a south facing window in order for the plant to produce blooms. The appearance of many tiny offshoot plants on young, small canes indicate that the plant isn't getting enough light. However, yellow leaves, can indicate the plant is receiving too much direct sunlight.

Watering: Use a soilless orchid mix and make sure it has good aeration and drainage  so the roots aren't left in too much moisture for any length of time. To determine if you should water, simply stick your finger in the medium. If it feels wet, wait to water until it has dried out slightly. During the winter months, add a few more days in between your regular watering, but don't let the medium dry out entirely. Watering with distilled water is also a good idea.
