🌱Easy-to-Follow Care Guide

Light Requirements

• Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight for 5–6 hours daily.

• Can handle mild morning sunlight but avoid harsh midday rays to prevent leaf burn.

• A lack of flowers indicates the need to increase sunlight exposure to encourage blooming.

Watering

• Water thoroughly when the potting medium feels dry.

• During winter, reduce watering but do not let the medium dry out completely.

• Avoid wetting flowers during watering, as it can lead to rot.

Humidity and Air Circulation

• Prefers 60-80% humidity. Mist the leaves during dry weather but avoid misting the flowers.

• Ensure proper ventilation to keep the plant healthy and prevent fungal diseases.

Temperature

• Thrives in temperatures between 15°C and 30°C, making it ideal for Indian climates.

• Protect from extreme heat and cold for best results.

Potting Medium

• Dendrobium Yellow Red Lip Orchids flourish in a soilless, well-draining medium like coconut husk, perlite, cocopeat, or charcoal, without requiring soil.

• A well-draining medium ensures the roots stay healthy and prevent rot.

• You can use our orchid potting mix for optimal results.

🪴Repotting & Maintenance

Repotting

• Repot only when the plant outgrows its pot or the potting medium deteriorates.

• The best time for repotting is after flowering, when new roots begin to grow.

• Choose a pot with excellent drainage, such as a 5–7 inch orchid pot or a hanging basket.

Post-Bloom Care

• Once blooms fade, trim the flower spike at the point where it meets the cane.

• Keep the old canes intact as they store nutrients and water for future growth.

Pruning

• Prune roots and leaves only if necessary, such as during repotting.

• Healthy roots and canes help sustain the plant during dormancy and encourage fresh growth.

🌸Blooming Characteristics

• Flowers grow at the top of mature canes, producing up to 20 blooms per spike.

• Blooms last 2 to 2.5 months, offering extended beauty.

• Deciduous in nature, some leaves may yellow and fall before winter as a normal part of the plant’s life cycle. 

🐛Common Issues and Solutions

Yellow Leaves

• Caused by overwatering or exposure to harsh sunlight. Adjust care as needed.
  

Root Rot

• Prevent by watering only when the potting medium is dry and ensure good drainage.
  

Pests

• Watch out for mealybugs, spider mites, and thrips. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
  

Weak Growth & No Flowers

• This may indicate insufficient light. Move to a brighter spot for better flowering.
  

🌟Fertiliser 

• Use diluted fertilisers like panchagavya or seaweed extract once a month during the growing season.

• For better blooms, apply phosphorus-rich fertilisers like bone meal or organic alternatives like banana peel water.

• Always water the plant before fertilising to avoid root burn.
