Dendrobium nobile care in winter while blooming
Default Dendrobium nobile care in winter while blooming

Hi
My dad bought me a dendrobium nobile and is in bloom. I've read not to water them in winter but I'm not sure if that applies while it's blooming...
Any care tips and disaster prevention will be very welcome!!

Thank you all!

No, the dry rest it's to induce buds. Water normally.

Beautiful!
I think I have that same hybrid.
Mine is budding now.

Yes, water your plant normally otherwise the flowers will drop.

Also, if possible, do not keep the plant too warm in the house. It can really shorten up the blooming period. These flowers can last up to three months under ideal conditions.

How nice! This plant has such a unique look. So when it will drop the blooms, what should I do? Just leave it be?

When the flowers are finished, give it strong light, you can gradually move it the full sun, which is how I grow mine, and water good once the new shoots develop.

One more note, fertilize once the flowers fade, but stop all fertilization by July.
This is what the makers of these hybrids recommend in order to bring out the best flowering of these plants.
If you continue on with fertilizing past summer time, then you could end up with bad results.

Oh I didn't know that
I have a fertiliser, it's 5-5-5 but I've noticed it has urea and read on the net that is not reccomended..so I stopped using it. Is it really bad?

Quite often cool-dry-rest type Dendrobiums, especially the hybrids, get confused as to exactly what the season really is. If it is in bloom right now it is not winter as far as it is concerned.
It is spring or early summer.
After it finally drops it's blossoms, it will go into its summer- autumn mode, growing and finishing its new growths.
When the new growths finish growing and the PB tips fill out, it is time for its winter to begin, usually a 2 to 3 month period. Most Den. hybrids do not require a "hard" sere winter.
They simply need their water cut back just enough to cause at least some of the leaves to shrivel and dry up.
Cooler night temperatures also help.
Although, for many Nobile type hybrids it is not a hard requirement. A 5 to 10 degree cooler night temp compared to summer will help a lot with blossom quantity. 10 to 15 degrees cooler will usually help even more.
As soon as you see new growths beginning near the base and buds beginning to form higher up, begin their spring watering cycle.
