Default Dendrobium Ruby Red No. 2

Today I did what I have told myself not to do. Bought another orchid. It was a beautiful,healthy plant and half price because it had finished blooming.How could I resist? Is anyone familiar with Dendrobium Ruby Red No.2 ? The parents are Den. Burmese Ruby X Den. Kiyomi Beauty.

Per Orchidwiz:

50%-60% humidity. Keep moist in the Spring-Summer, when plant is in active growth. Grow in a pot with porous, free-draining media. The pot should be small for plant size. Fertilize weekly, weakly (one quarter to half the normal dose). Reduce water/feeding during the cooler months. Common media: fir bark, coconut chunks.

Grow this hybrid in bright indirect light conditions.

Grow this hybrid in intermediate to hot conditions, or 68°F to 85°F at night.

Thankyou Susanne. I have some other Dens,but they are not nearly as robust looking as this one. Maybe it is related to the maturity of the plant?
