Dendrobium Roongkamol Vejvarut

Dendrobium Roongkamol Vejvarut is an attractive hybrid between Dendrobium Dawn Maree and Dendrobium formosum, valued for its large, elegant flowers and repeat flowering potential. The flowers are predominantly white, with a contrasting yellow to golden throat and a prominent lip. Its canelike stems and green foliage reflect the characteristics of its Formosae section ancestry. The combination of striking flowers and manageable growing requirements makes this hybrid appealing to both collectors and orchid enthusiasts.

Care Tips:

• Light: Provide bright, filtered light with some gentle morning sunlight. Avoid harsh midday sun.

• Watering: Water thoroughly during active growth and allow excess water to drain. Let the medium become slightly drier between waterings, but avoid prolonged dehydration.

• Growing Medium: Use a well-draining orchid mix containing medium-grade bark, perlite and charcoal. Mounting is also possible with suitable humidity and frequent watering.

• Humidity: Maintain approximately 50–70% humidity with good air circulation.

• Temperature: Intermediate to warm conditions are suitable, around 20–30°C (68–86°F) during the day with somewhat cooler nights.

• Fertilizing: Apply a diluted, balanced orchid fertilizer during active growth. Reduce feeding when growth slows.

• Airflow: Provide steady airflow, particularly in warm and humid conditions.

• Repotting: Repot when the medium begins to break down or when new roots emerge.

• Flowering: Strong filtered light, mature canes and consistent care during active growth help encourage flowering. Avoid excessive shade, which can reduce blooming.
