Dendrobium Roongkamol Vejvarut ‘Varitgland’ FCC/OST

Care Tips:

• Light: Provide bright light with some direct morning sun or filtered sunlight. Acclimate the plant gradually to stronger light and protect it from intense midday sun.

• Temperature: Prefers intermediate to cool-growing conditions, around 19–25°C (66–77°F) during the day and 12–18°C (54–64°F) at night. A cooler nighttime temperature difference can help support flowering.

• Watering: Water thoroughly during active growth, allowing excess water to drain away. Let the potting medium become slightly dry before watering again. Reduce watering during winter dormancy, but avoid excessive dehydration.

• Humidity: Maintain approximately 60–80% humidity with good air circulation to help prevent fungal and bacterial problems.

• Potting Medium: Use a well-draining orchid mix containing medium-grade bark, with a little sphagnum moss or other moisture-retentive material if needed for your growing environment.

• Fertilizing: During active growth, apply a balanced orchid fertilizer at quarter to half strength every one to two weeks. Reduce or suspend fertilizing during the cooler resting period.

• Rest Period: As a member of the Formosae section, this hybrid benefits from a cooler, drier winter rest after new canes mature. Reduce watering and stop fertilizing during this period, then resume regular care when new growth begins.

• Repotting: Repot when new roots begin to emerge or when the potting medium deteriorates. Avoid unnecessarily disturbing healthy roots.
