Dendrobium Seedlings King Dragon # 43

Description

• Dendrobium King Dragon #43 is a hybrid orchid known for its striking pinkish-purple flowers with white splashes. To ensure healthy growth and vibrant blooms for your seedlings, consider the following care guidelines:

Light Requirements:

Provide bright, indirect light. While they can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, avoid intense midday sun to prevent leaf scorching.

Temperature:

Maintain temperatures between 22°C and 27°C. These orchids thrive in warm conditions but should be protected from extreme heat.

Humidity:

Aim for humidity levels between 50% and 70%. In drier environments, consider using a humidity tray or room humidifier to maintain adequate moisture.

Watering:

Water thoroughly when the potting medium starts to dry out. Ensure the potting mix drains well to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Fertilization:

Apply a balanced, water-soluble orchid fertilizer once or twice a month during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the dormant period to prevent over-fertilization.

Potting Medium:

Use a well-draining orchid mix, such as a combination of bark, perlite, and charcoal. This ensures proper aeration and prevents root diseases.

Repotting:

Repot your seedlings every 1-2 years or when the potting medium breaks down. Choose a pot that allows for growth but isn’t excessively large, as too much space can lead to overwatering.

Flowering:

Dendrobium King Dragon #43 typically blooms multiple times a year. To encourage blooming, ensure the plant receives adequate light and temperature fluctuations that mimic its natural environment.

By adhering to these care guidelines, your Dendrobium King Dragon #43 seedlings should thrive, producing their characteristic vibrant blooms.
