How to care for Dendrobium nobile? A detailed guide to four-season care

1. Spring

(1) Temperature: First, the most suitable temperature for it is in the range of 15 to 28 degrees. We can see that this plant likes warmth. So, generally speaking, in spring there is no need for special attention, as the temperature usually meets its requirements.

(2) Light: This plant likes a slightly shady environment. In spring, 60 percent shade should be maintained.

(3) Water: In spring, just keep the soil slightly moist. We can judge by the condition of the soil; pinch the soil with your hand, and if it feels moist, there is no need to water again.

2. Summer

(1) Temperature: In the hot summer, in some places the temperature is above 30 degrees, and then the plant will look very listless, so some cooling measures must be taken. For example, ventilation to dissipate heat, cooling by misting, and so on.

(2) Light: It likes shade, and summer light is relatively strong. So, when the light is usually very intense, some shading measures must be taken.

(3) Water: In summer, when the temperature is very high, try to control the amount of water given, and keep the substrate slightly drier than the soil in spring.

3. Autumn

(1) Temperature: The same as spring.

(2) Light: Likewise maintain appropriate shade, around 60 percent.

(3) Water: The same as spring.

4. Winter

(1) Temperature: After the temperature drops below 10 degrees, it needs to be kept warm. Commonly used methods include: using smoke for frost protection, artificial heating, and so on.

(2) Light: In winter, the light duration can be slightly longer, to ensure it gets through the winter safely.

(3) Water: The temperature is low, and its growth rate is also slow, or it may even basically not grow, so the amount of water should be even less. Absolutely do not water too much at this time.
