(Areedang Green x Burana Stripe)#248

Description �� Care & Handling Tips �� Light: Bright, indirect sunlight is ideal. It can tolerate some direct morning sun but should be protected from harsh midday rays. Yellowing leaves may indicate too much light, while dark green leaves suggest too little. ��️ Temperature: Daytime: 24–30°C (75–86°F) Nighttime: 16–20°C (60–68°F) Avoid prolonged exposure below 10°C (50°F). �� Watering: During active growth (spring/summer): Water thoroughly when the top inch of the potting media dries out. During rest (fall/winter): Reduce watering; some Dendrobiums need a semi-dry rest to encourage blooming. Always ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. �� Humidity: Prefers 50–70% humidity. Use a humidity tray or room humidifier if indoor air is dry. �� Fertilization: Use a balanced orchid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) every 2 weeks during growth. In winter, reduce to once a month or stop entirely depending on plant dormancy. �� Potting & Media: Repot every 2–3 years or when media breaks down. Use a well-draining orchid mix (e.g., bark, perlite, charcoal). Choose a snug pot; Dendrobiums like slightly tight roots. ✂️ Maintenance: Remove spent flowers and dead leaves to maintain hygiene. Do not cut green canes as they store energy and may rebloom or produce keikis (baby plants). ⚠️ Common Issues: Root rot: Often due to overwatering or poor drainage. Leaf drop: May occur naturally, especially if it’s a deciduous type or if moved to a new environment. Pests: Watch for mealybugs, scale, and spider mites.
