Different Dendrobium Orchids, different care requirements

- One of the species of Orchids that is ever surprising for me is the Dendrobium. Just when you think you found a pattern, things change again :) Here are a few of my Dendrobiums and their different care requirements.
▼▼▼More info bellow!▼▼▼
Deciduous Dendrobium species are usually those who benefit from a winter rest, a distinct change in care that especially refers to watering and temperature. Now one might conclude that deciduous orchids will all take this rest, but as it turns out this is not the case. One of the deciduous species I have is the victoria reginae, which loses leaves, but doesn't take a winter rest and prefers even watering all year round.
The Dendrobium parishii, even if deciduous, require different watering regimes in winter, in the rest period. So being deciduous is not a determining factor when it comes to this aspect of their care.
When we reffer to hybrids things can get even trickier, particularly when we have a hybrid between a rest taking orchid and a continuous grower. We can even encounter individuals of the same variety that will act different and require slightly different care.
Thus it is a good idea to research about our orchids and even learn what others have experienced with this orchid, this way we can at least have an idea of what to expect. Other than that, it's trial and error :)

Just bought a reduced dendrobium. Idk what type it is at all!!! But I think I can observe from the growth having watched this video.
I have 11 dendrobiums and they are just so easy to care. They are so lovely when they bloom and in fact has so many colors. More common here in the Philippines is the color violet, white, maroon,yellow green and blue violet ❤
Man, I just got one. Good for you having 11!!
Hi Danny! I have a recommendation, I would appreciate if you can put pictures in a corner of the video the flower of the plant you are talking about. Is to visualize what plants you are talking about. The people that don't know the plants by name would really like it. Keep up the good videos, take care! 😁
Hi Paul, thanks for suggesting, it's a great idea and I will be sure to do that. Most of these orchids though didn't bloom for me yet, but I will place pictures or older footage with blooms whenever I can :)
Yey i'm from the Philippines and all my orchids are dendrobiums, though my mom keeps vandas :) love your videos Dani!
I love dendrobiums! Great video, very informative.
I have a Victoria Reginae and I love it! What I love most about it is it blooms readily and it hasn't put out any keiki's so it grows and blooms well and looks neat. I think that is a bud(s) you have!
Thanks for the info Ariel :D did your orchid ever require any winter rest or change in care?
MissOrchidGirl I don't keep it as wet in the winter as I do in the summer, but I do give it some moisture because it still has active root tips for me in the winters. :) Not totally dry!
Ok thanks very much!
🤔 ok so how do we tell the different types?
Thank you for doing this video! I had the same question, as some of my Dends are still putting out new growths. I was told to keep watering anyhow, even if they are supposed to be resting. I have a Vic. reginae and it's really pretty when it blooms- if it's in brighter light, the bluer it gets! I'm still learning about that one too... Good luck with yours! :)
Hi, indeed when new growth is involved the orchid spends energy into it and it should be offered water. It might be out of season now that is all :)
Thank you so much for all your hard work and the advice about info cards. What i know about plants ive taught mtself and gleaned from other growers...thank you for enhancing my orchid experiance
Hi Dani, my dendrobium cuttings are getting keikis Im sure. The nubbin seems to have divided, and doesnt look like yours, so lets see what happens. Thanks for all your wonderful tutorials.
I have a Dendrobium that wasn’t mark as it which variety it is. It has one cane that is quite shivled. I don’t know how to care for it and appreciated this video. Since they all have different needs I really wish I had asked what type it is.
Dendrobium victoria is a tropical high land dendrobium found in the Philippines. "THERE BLOOMING SEASON IS ON THE DRY SEASON" which is March - May here also known as Dry Rest. They grew new growths on June ( Wet Season ) and I Dry rest them on December ( start of the Cool/Chilly Season ,watering them once a week with a bloom fertilizer ) as they start to shed there leaves . Tip that i`m gonna leave you is that never water too much your Tropical Dendrobiums like the victoria , anosmum , aphyllum , and sanderae when there is a small bump it`s going to be a keiki rather than a flower after you rested it
Hi, thanks for the tip :D because we grow them in a totally different environment which implies low humidity usually, things might be different in the home, I'll see what mine does and will take into account your info, thanks!
Very well explained. Thank you.💐
Hi Dani,
I watched your Dendrobium video and I found it very helpful. I just bought my first Dendrobium and I'm a little worried because I've never owned one before. I'll be watching all your Dendrobium videos, because I don't want to kill this one. I haven't killed an orchid for a long time and I don't want to start now. By the way, what was the orchid app you were talking about? I don't see the video for that. Thanks for the great videos!
How do you separate the keikai from the mother plant? How mature does it have to be?
I recently bought my first Orchid. It is labeled Dendrobium Orquidea! It was in a pot without drain holes! It was saturated in water! I immediately drained all the excess water out! That being said, it looks healthy! It has 4 stalks but had had all of its bloom stalks cut off. Should I repot? Should I use the same mosses it is currently in? What type of medium do I need? First orchid momma!!!
Hello Miss Orchid Girl. I have a dendrobium victoria reginae (Queen Victoria orchid) that is in sad shape. The roots rotted, and I am not sure how to encourage it to grow more roots. It shot out a few new keikis out of the sides (around 6 or 7), and they all shriveled up. What do you think I should do? Any info you can provide would certainly be appreciated :)
Would it be possible for you to make a video on caring for dendrobium chrysotoxum or “golden bow”? Love your videos and I find them very helpful!
Hi, your analysis is so good!
Could you tell me what potting media you use to grow orchid is?
It looks very good for root~
Thank you very much!
I'm so sad because I ruined my Akatsuki Komet King :(
I found it this summer and was so happy, but it was planted in soil and after I repotted it in bark the roots slowly died off. I had hope because it started producing lots of keikis and all of them grew roots. After a while it became hard to water the plant because the roots of the keikis were very long, growing high up on the canes, so I had to spray them... and it was late autumn when they started growing, yeah. Then of course the two canes started rotting at the base because the medium was too moist all the time, and I had to separate the keikis (8 of them, on 2 canes). They were around 10 cm long and all had much longer roots, so I thought it was OK to pot them. Sadly, every day one or two keiki started rotting and now I have none :'(
I kept the two cut off canes, but they're pretty shriveled up. I don't think I'll get a new keiki out of them...
Stupid winter, my two other Dendrobiums are also off season, it's hard to maintain them in these conditions (dry air because of the heating, then sudden cold when I open the window and never enough light...).
I also have two Dendrobium phalaenopsis, one started 5 spikes, now I see one bud has dried, two spikes stopped growing and one has a dry top - I bet it's because I leave the window open at night (otherwise I can't sleep). The other den.phal. is new, bought it in Ikea - it was huge, had thick canes and 3 spikes, the biggest already in bloom - of course I had major bud blast when I brought it home and had to repot it because it was - again - planted in soil... Damn winter conditions... And why the heck do they sell orchids in soil??
Now I'm afraid the orchid won't do so good, the roots will probably die because of the medium change... :'(
Besides Miss Orchid Girl, also check with Maria Young of MY Orchid Adventures...not sure where you're from but she's helped me a lot in re-hydrating when I thought orchids were a goner! Don't understand the soil thing, they're not the terrestrials right? Problems could be from the soil, takes time for the orchid to react so probably not your care, they were already in trouble with the soil I think.
I also LOVE Akatsuki Nursery!!!!!!! :)
Thanks for your opinion :)
Have a new orchid in my collection. A Dendoblum Noble. It came in a small pot and I decided to put it in a clear pot with orchid medium under and around it. On removing from pot discovered it is an potting medium.Can you tell me which it should be in.
This is a little off topic. I recently purchased a dendrobium noble type. I don't know if it's just me. But I like the look of chubby translation canes. Do most/all den noble types look this way? I've seen others in the past but not all of them.
Heya! Thank you for your video! I have young dendrobium but I can't find any information about its care whatsoever. It's called the dendrobium banglane sunset and even though I water it every 8 days or so, every time I do, it loses a leaf :S (it turns yellow and falls off) I keep it ventilated and check that there's no residual water, etc etc but it's as if the orchid simply doesn't want water. I checked your videos and I think it's some kind of den-phal so no winter rest. I don't know what to do :S Could you help me, please? Should I send you a picture of the orchid? Thank you for reading!
I recently got a dendrobium orchid since this type of orchid is widely grown in the Philippines, more so than Phalaenopsis.Mine has pure purple flowers growing on it's stalk. I want to know what type of dendrobium is this.
How about to grow keiki, are you have some technique to make keiki grow well?
One of them at the end of your video looked like a dendrobium linguella. I am looking for mor information about that one. I have one and I am in need of more tipps... If you have some, please share. Thank you.
hey ... i have a cattleya-dendrobium phalaenopsis hybrid it flower is so large and its flower spikes has a leaves !! is it normal ??
Hi, I love your video, it is very helpful and very understandable. I just purchased a dendrobium with lots of white flowers (with a strong beautiful smell). I need to repot it it is in a tight fitting pot, I am going to search thru your videos and hopefully find one regarding "repotting:)". Can you please tell me what "keiki" is?
Thank you:)
Keikis are plants that originate from a bigger plant asexually (instead of from a seed they typically grow from the plant)
I recently purchased a Dendrobium victoriae-reginae online when I first got it out of packaging it was beautiful so healthy, now a couple of months later the leaves are yellowing and the plant is not doing well. I've decided to transplant it and check for root rot. UGH! The roots are white and soggy. My fear is I've destroyed this orchid. What can I do?
Hi Danny, I love your videos. My dendrobium leaves are turning yellowish, purple I sent you pics thru your IG chat. What could this be ?
do firebirds require winter rest?
thank you! loved this video
Orquimaniaco yes, they do and they are pretty hard to get to bloom again.
S. Wegener
thank you
I suggest you also take a look at the unicum culture sheet as it's a great influence on this hybrid www.orchidweb.com/products/dendrobium-unicum~1072.html
MissOrchidGirl
thank you
Hi, my dendrobiam has grown very tall how can I prune when it had finished flowering please?
I think I have a dendrobrium my hubby stuck in the ground! I wanted to put it in a tree. I noticed it was shooting out a bunch of roots on top. Should I cut it there and put that part in the tree?
I really doubt a dendrobium belongs in the ground
Do the rest mean you dont give them any water at all? Also, just got hold of some more Dendrobium kingianum keikis, can i just plant them in some pure fine bark?
Hi, it means I give them almost no water at all :) depends on the orchid, some can stay unwatered for a month, some will shrivel a bit too much so I will run just a bit of water through the pot to maintain the canes in good shape :) yes the kingianum should do well in bark, it is a litophyte orchid in its natural habitat.

Hi. Love your videos. I have a question... How do i know what dendrobium i have? A friend saw these orchids and bought one for me. There is no tag with it and the flowers arent open yet either. It would also be my first orchid outside the phal family. So i feel a bit lost.
I am from Canada I notice that my Dendrobium the leaves start yellow.
What is the problem?
P.S can't find a viable root:( Is it hopeless?
hi miss orchid girl , i was wondering what slow release fertilizer you used for dendrobiums? and if you tried it ? and what the result was ? i'd be interested to hear an update on this
I have Dendrobium Nobile Red Emperor just got it but the sudobalbs looked cutted
But I have trouble finding other species orchids because I live in England where there is a lot of phelnopsis
my berry oda is one big keiki..but the plant looks healthy
Hi Danny.. i am recently noticing that top leaves of my den.phal orchids turning yellow.those plants were doing fine.winter is just setting in.could it be coz of that
Hi, what temperatures do you have in your growing space now?
I grow them in my balcony. During the day the temp is around 25-26 deg... and at night 20 to 21.
I have orchids I got all of them in mountain part of Quezon and rizal
Hi, how can I make my orchid bloom again ?
I want to get a Violet Fizz “Luna” & Danni, on average, how long is this winter rest we’re talking about for these dendrobium?
I took a risk a bought an Ansellia Africana (Leopard Orchid) earlier this month. Research tells me that I can grow it much the same way as a dendrobium. But: I MUST OBSERVE IT'S DORMANCY PERIOD! When does this so-called dormancy period begin. By looking at my orchid, I see tall, narrow, plump canes. Leaves are starting to yellow. It is in a very open media in a clay pot. Apart from the initial planting, I have only been spray watering the top surface.....something tells me he wants to stay dry during winter. Your thoughts?
Oh that's a pretty orchid :D well is it growing anything? roots, new canes? or are the new canes mature already? rests come when vegetative growth is done and canes are mature, but there's one little problem. You repotted it, so I am not sure if it liked it, depends on its stage on the moment. Orchids with very specific growth patterns can be a bit fussy with when you repot them, like catasetums and deciduous dendrobiums,. They usually take a repot best when the new vegetative season starts. No panic, but is it still growing anything actively now?
No new growth. PSB plump. Leaves yellowing. I had no choice but to re-pot as it was shipped bare-rooted. What should I do?? :(
How about Den.Loddigesii ?
I was really hoping you would discuss the Dendrobium Moniliforme!
What is the name of plant mounted on the tube shown at 3:43
Would you put dendrobium In bark
Yeah
What is a khaki
Basically a new plant
What is card of for a Den. Jairak Helix?
I have a dendrobium - don't know the name - the flower is a pale yellow with a purple centre - my question is the pseudobulb with the flower spike is really shrivelled and is loosening its leaves, the others are nice and round with there is nice green leaves - what could be wrong? Any help is good help
Thank you xxx
Hi Amy, well it might be normal or it might not be, but we need to figure out what type of dendrobium you have. A pciture would help a lot in giving you a better opinion, just upload a picture to photobucket, flickr, instagram, imgur or g plus and share the link in a comment here, I'll take a look :)
Hi Danny I have figured out what orchid I have - I have a dendrobium phalaenopsis called chocolate banana I think but it's definitely a den/phal xx
Does Barry Oda have red is pink striped canes? I have a no name dendrobium that I'm trying to find the name of. I was told that the flowers would be pink and that was all when it was given to me. The leaf pattern looks the same to your Barry oda.
+Cheryl Adams Hi, no I can't say it has evident pink or purple stripes, some den phals do however
MissOrchidGirl I have found some information from one of your videos to reduce it to a nobile type as the leaves are flexible and not stiff like the kingianum type dendrobium. The canes and leaf patterns are similar to both however. Thank you for answering. My plant is small so I'm sure that it will take 12 months or more to flower.
How come you using clay pots now?
Danny, do you have Dendrobium Fimbratum??? Any tips?
Hi, no I don;t have that one yet, but this might help orchids.wikia.com/wiki/Dendrobium_fimbriatum
Thanks!
Orchids on trees
hahahahah fist view xD Love ur videos!!!!
They made the plant from genshin into a real thing
It is hard for me to understand what you are saying because of the echo in the room you are in and because you speak too fast and in a sing-song fashion which does not sound good under normal circumstances but is worse when in an echo.
Very informative clip.
Btw, what is the potting material you have used?
Shaukat Islam leca clay pebbles
I recently received a Den. Hibiki. Anyone knows if they should have winter rest?
Hi, I never owned this one so I cannot say from experience, but here is a discussion which might help www.orchidboard.com/community/dendrobium-alliance/70217-dendrobium-hibiki-culture.html
Thanks Dany! That link was most helpful! Quick question: I repotted her 2months back, and noticed after the repotting, some of her outer roots browned while inner roots remain moist, green and healthy (there's new root growth too).And the pseudobulbs have stopped shrivelling in 2 weeks after I watered her sufficiently daily. Are these 2 reactions "normal"?
