Caring for Your Dendrobium Orchid:

Sunlight:

Prefers bright, indirect light. Protect from direct sunlight to avoid leaf burn, especially in Indian summers. Early morning light is ideal.

Watering:

Water regularly during the growing season. Adjust frequency based on the season and medium’s moisture level. Always ensure the medium is partially dry before watering again.

Humidity & Temperature:

Maintain a humidity level of 60%-80% and a temperature between 21°C to 29°C. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.

Fertilising:

Use a diluted panchagavya and seaweed extract once a month during the growing season, and apply nutrient-rich banana peel water as a foliar spray on plant leaves. Avoid fertilising a dry plant to protect the roots.

Pruning:

After blooming, trim the flowering stem of the Dendrobium Thongchai Gold Chaisri Gold with sharp scissors to encourage new growth. Don’t cut the old canes, as they store nutrients vital for the plant’s health.

Pot and Hanging Pot Options:

Pot Size:

The Dendrobium orchid thrives in a 5 to 7-inch orchid pot, which provides the perfect balance of space and drainage. 

Hanging Pot:

If you prefer a hanging display, the rare Dendrobium Thongchai Gold adapts beautifully to hanging pots, adding a vertical dimension to your garden or indoor space.

Common Issues:

Yellowing Leaves:

Usually due to overwatering, inadequate sunlight, or nutrient deficiency.

Browned Leaves:

Likely caused by too much fertiliser or direct sunlight. Adjust light exposure and check the growing medium.

Pests & Diseases:

Watch out for mealybugs and fungal infestations, treat with a diluted pest controller if necessary.

Special Features:

Ornamental Value:

Dendrobium orchids are long-lasting and make spectacular houseplants. Their blooms are perfect for floral arrangements and decoration.

Health Benefits: 

Having Dendrobium orchids at home can reduce stress, counter depression, and promote relaxation.

Planting Instructions: 

Allow your Dendrobium Thongchai Gold Chaisri Gold to thrive in the same pot for one year. After that, repotting becomes essential when the plant starts to outgrow its space, with new growth spilling over the edge, or when the potting medium begins to break down. Choose a 5 to 7-inch orchid pot, fill it with our premium orchid potting mix, gently place the orchid in the centre, and cover the roots with potting media. Position the pot in a spot with bright, indirect light to let your orchid shine in all its glory.

Note: The plants may or may not contain flowers or buds. There are chances that the buds/flowers could dry up due to transit stress even though we pack them with extreme care. The local climatic conditions and fertilization habits can affect the brightness colour intensity of flowers. While we make every effort to match the actual colours of the flowers, the photographs may not be the exact representation, due to different monitor settings.
