Mini Orchid - Dendrobium King Zip Yellow is available for pre-order – please confirm stock before ordering!
Description:
Dendrobium Den. King Zip x Yellow is a fast-growing and resilient hybrid, ideal for both beginners and experienced growers. Grown in a 9 cm pot, these plants are approximately one year from reaching flowering size. With their robust nature, they are well-suited for outdoor growing, thriving when mounted on trees, rocks, or cultivated in pots. Expect vibrant yellow blooms once mature, bringing a bright splash of color to your collection or garden.
Light:
Prefers bright conditions with around 60% shade.
Morning sunlight is ideal, with shading provided during the hotter afternoon hours.
Protect from intense midday sun to avoid leaf burn.
Temperature:
Tolerates a wide range from 3°C to 28°C.
Important: Requires a day-to-night temperature drop of around 10°C to encourage healthy growth and future flowering.
Humidity:
Moderate humidity is preferred (around 50-70%), though these plants are quite adaptable.
Medium:
Potted plants should be grown in a bark and peat-based medium that drains well.
Alternatively, mount on wood, trees, or rocks using a moisture-retaining substrate like coconut fiber or moss.
Mounted plants will appreciate regular misting during dry periods.
Watering:
Water thoroughly when the medium begins to dry out.
Mounted plants will need more frequent watering, especially during hot weather.
Fertilizing:
Fertilize weekly during the active growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Reduce feeding in autumn and winter when growth slows.
