Dendrobium orchids requiring a dry winter rest

A few Dendrobium orchids to consider if your greenhouse winter temperatures fall to the high 30’s F or if you grow outdoors and experience mild frosts. These are tough orchids and take low winter temperatures and high summer heat. A link to an Orchid Digest article on Dry Winter Rest Dendrobiums can be found on the home page of the Five Cities Orchid Society webpage at www.FCOS.org. (Watch for my thumb which makes several cameo appearances throughout this video).

I’m so glad ai found this. I just built our Palram canopy at greenhouse last month and I am trying to figure out how to make it work because it gets really hot over here in Salinas a put shade cloth in my greenhouse, but it still gets all the way up to 124 inside the greenhouse. I am afraid to put my orchids inside, so I’m trying to figure out how to make this work in this climate.

You might want to consider installing a misting system. On hot days (90F or hotter) my mist system is set to go on for one minute every two hours during the day. I lower my temperature by about 10-15F by keeping things wet. Along with fans to circulate air and increase evaporative cooling my plants do well in the summer heat. You will need to use reverse osmosis water for misting to avoid deposits of salts on your plants. We have plans to upload one or more videos in the near future on this FCOS channel detailing how to design and build a misting system.

Yes, dendrobiums take low temperatures. Here in Japan we have dendrobium nobile in the lower 20s with a dry sunny winter, some snow and permafrost. They don't mind a bit😌👍
