(Burana Jade x Thongchai Gold) T-153

Description �� Plant Description Type: Epiphytic orchid Growth Habit: Cane-type Dendrobium (typically produces tall, upright canes) Flowers: Bright yellow to golden, often long-lasting; bloom in clusters along the upper part of mature canes Foliage: Narrow, leathery green leaves on segmented canes �� Light Requirements Bright, indirect light is ideal. Tolerates some direct morning sun, but avoid harsh midday sun which can scorch leaves. Indoors: A south or east-facing window with sheer curtain works well. Outdoors (tropical/subtropical zones): Partial shade or dappled sunlight. �� Watering Tips Water thoroughly when the potting medium is nearly dry, typically every 4–7 days depending on temperature and humidity. Allow water to drain completely to avoid root rot. Reduce watering during the cooler, dormant period (often in winter). ��️ Temperature & Humidity Temperature: Day: 24–30°C (75–86°F) Night: 15–20°C (59–68°F) Humidity: 50–70% is ideal. Use a humidity tray or room humidifier in dry conditions. �� Fertilizing Feed with a balanced orchid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) every 2 weeks during active growth (spring to early autumn). In late fall and winter, reduce feeding to once a month or stop altogether. �� Potting & Medium Use a well-draining medium like bark mix or coconut husk chips. Repot every 2–3 years, preferably after flowering or when new roots start to appear. Choose a snug pot—orchids bloom better when slightly root-bound. ✂️ General Care & Handling Remove spent flowers to keep the plant tidy and prevent fungal issues. Cut old, leafless canes only if they are completely dry, as they sometimes produce keikis (baby plants). Monitor for pests like aphids, scale, or mealybugs—treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap. Ensure good airflow around the plant to prevent fungal infections
