Experienced grower's notes on Dendrobium

I've been growing plants seriously for over fifteen years and Dendrobium remains a reliable favourite. For anyone starting out: the most critical thing is repotting into fresh bark medium every two or three years. Everything else follows from that. crown rot from water sitting in the leaf crown is …

Gift that became an obsession — Dendrobium

Someone gave me Dendrobium as a birthday gift and I barely knew what it was. Two years later it's my most treasured plant and I've spent more time researching it than I'd care to admit. The key discovery was watering by soaking the pot then letting it drain fully — once that clicked, the plant tran…

Good plant, mediocre results — what went wrong with my Dendrobium

Dendrobium is clearly a great plant — I can see that from other people's results. Mine has been decent but not spectacular, and I think I know why.

Six months with Dendrobium — what I actually learned

I brought Dendrobium home six months ago with high hopes and almost no knowledge. The first challenge was understanding watering by soaking the pot then letting it drain fully — something I hadn't expected to matter so much. Once I got that right, the whole thing settled down. I grow it in a groupi…

Comparing Dendrobium varieties — notes from growing several

I've grown several varieties within the Dendrobium family and have some observations to share. extraordinary bloom longevity lasting weeks to months varies noticeably between them, more than catalogue descriptions suggest. The care fundamentals are shared — repotting into fresh bark medium every two…

Slow start but a stunning finish with Dendrobium

The first few months with Dendrobium were underwhelming. Almost no visible growth and I questioned my decision repeatedly. Then something shifted — I think getting repotting into fresh bark medium every two or three years right was the turning point. spectacular flower forms that rival almost any p…
