🌺 Dendrobium Thongchai Gold Pinawattana – Full Description

🧬 What It Is

• A hybrid orchid from the Dendrobium genus, known for beautiful yellow blooms with contrasting lips. This orchid is typically a medium (M) size plant — meaning a mature plant that’s bigger than a seedling but not yet large/blooming-sized.

🌼 Flower Appearance

• Color: Bright golden-yellow petals and sepals with a distinct dark purple/red lip (labellum) that adds striking contrast.

• Flower Size: Approximately 5–7 cm in diameter when in bloom.

• Inflorescences: Can carry around 10–15 flowers on long stems (depending on conditions).

• Fragrance: Generally no strong fragrance (some sources list it as mild or slight).

🌿 Plant Structure

• Growth Habit: Upright canes (stems) produce leaves and eventually flower spikes. Dendrobium orchids are often epiphytic — meaning they naturally grow on trees in tropical regions, but they do well potted in loose media.

• Leaves: Glossy green, typically narrow and arranged along the cane.

• Root System: Thick, fleshy roots that benefit from good air circulation and drainage.

🌱 Care & Growing Conditions

These orchids are popular because they’re relatively easy to care for if you mimic their natural tropical environment:

🔆 Light

• Bright, indirect light or morning sun. Avoid harsh midday sun.
  🌡️ Temperature

• Prefer warm to hot conditions, ideal day temps ~25–35 °C, but adaptable to warm ambient climates.
  💦 Humidity

• Likes moderate to high humidity ~50–80%.
  💧 Watering

• Water thoroughly but allow the medium to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging roots.
  🌿 Potting Media

• Use well-draining orchid mix (bark, coconut husk, charcoal mix).
  🌸 Fertilizer

• A balanced orchid fertilizer every 1–2 weeks during active growth encourages robust flowering.

🌻 Blooming Tips

• This orchid may not have flowers at the time of shipping — many sellers send it without spikes — but with proper care it will bloom repeatedly under good conditions.

🌼 Uses & Appeal

• Great in indoor collections, balconies, patios (shaded), or as part of a tropical plant display.

• Adds a bright, cheerful golden color to environments and is often used as a gift plant for enthusiasts.
