Dendrobium nobile fma. carnea 'F. Arima' is a stunning orchid species native to the Himalayas, southern China, and Southeast Asia.
Features:
The flowers are characterized by their pale pink hue, which is a distinctive feature of the carnea form. This cultivar has been recognized for its exceptional flower quality and has received awards such as CHM/JOGA and SM-CCM/JGP.
Care Tips:
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it's best to place the plant in a location where it receives filtered light.
Temperature: Maintain daytime temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C), with a nighttime drop of about 10°F (5.5°C). A winter rest period at around 55°F (13°C) for several weeks can help prompt reblooming.
Humidity: Dendrobiums prefer a humidity level between 50% and 70%. If the air is too dry, brown leaf tips may appear.
Watering: Water the plant regularly during the growing season, allowing the potting mix to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in the fall and winter to prevent root rot.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced orchid fertilizer during the active growing phase. Reduce or eliminate fertilization during the dormant period in winter.
