Dendrobium Nobile
Light: In a bright spot, but no direct sunlight.
Temperature: Ensure a cool and airy environment with a temperature between 12°C and 18°C.
Water: Put a wooden skewer in the potting compost and check regularly if the skewer is still wet. If the skewer is nearly dry, you’ll have to moisten the potting compost again.
Fertilization: Water the plant every fortnight with a special orchid fertilizer (20-20-20): apply a level teaspoon to 1 litre water and stir.
Do sprinkle a level teaspoon of lime over the potting compost 3 to 4 times a year.
Kind of soil: The plant needs to be repotted every 3 years or if the mix is exhausted. Please do this if the orchid has finished flowering (preferably in springtime) and do use an orchid mix.
After flowering: If the stem is past flowering, the flowers fall off. After this the plant should be stored in a dry and cool place.
