Dendrobium Bangkok Green-mary Trouse

This distinctive hybrid carries sprays of lime-green flowers with broad, rounded petals and softly ruffled lips accented with cream. Its nearly monochromatic blooms offer a fresh, understated alternative to brightly contrasting orchid flowers.

• Light: Bright, filtered light near an east-facing window or in a lightly shaded greenhouse. Gentle morning sun is suitable; protect from harsh midday exposure.
• Temperature: Warm-growing; aim for daytime temperatures of 75–85°F (24–29°C) and nights of 65–70°F (18–21°C). Avoid cold drafts and prolonged chilling.
• Humidity: Aim for 60–80% humidity with steady, gentle air circulation. Allow moisture on flowers and leaves to dry before nightfall.
• Watering: Water thoroughly during active growth, allowing an airy orchid mix to approach dryness between waterings. Reduce frequency when growth slows, but avoid prolonged drought and never leave the pot standing in water.

Additional Notes:

Grow in a snug pot with an open, bark-based orchid mix, and use a light stake to support arching flower stems when needed. Retain firm, healthy older canes as nutrient reserves. Repot as new roots begin developing, and apply diluted orchid fertilizer during active growth.
