Dendrobium Chocolate Chip
Latouria-type Dendrobiums are vigorous growers and easy bloomers provided they are given enough light. As a general rule, dendrobiums generally enjoy warmer, wetter Spring-Fall and cooler, drier Winters. This hybrid is an attractive, miniature Den that will not reach the typical large size of similar species. Smells like cinnamon or Snickerdoodles. No winter dry period required but cutting back on watering and fertilizing is recommended.
Plant may vary from the one pictured. Unless stated orchids will not arrive in bloom.
CARE INFO:
Potting mix: Coarse orchid bark or well-draining bark mix. Repot in Spring once root bound.
Light: Bright indirect - partial direct light. Shaded South or West facing preferred. Bright North is also acceptable.
Water: Water frequently in hot months when media is dry, decrease but don't stop in the cold months.
Temp: Intermediate-warm (55F min night, 90F max day).
Humidity: 30-60%, tolerant of low humidity with adequate watering.
Fertilizing: 1/2 strength urea-free fertilizer, every other watering as new roots and leaves emerge. Decrease or stop fertilizing in winter. General rule: begin in Spring, stop in Winter.
