Dendrobium Chaisri Gold 1

A cross between Dendrobium Kurniati and Dendrobium Mary Mak, this selection produces sprays of yellow-green flowers with subtle purple edging and rich purple lips. Broad, gently curved petals create an open floral display with striking color contrast.

• 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 without imposing a hard dry rest, and never leave the pot standing in water.

Additional Notes:

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