Dendrobium ochreatum

Fertilization Dendrobium ochreatum : In the autumnal period let’s fertilize our orchids sporadically, every 30-40 days. We should avoid excessive fertilizations during those periods with very short days, to avoid stimulating the plants which tend to have short periods of vegetative rest.

continental : We can grow the The Dendrobium ochreatum in a place where it can receive a few hours a day of direct sunlight, but where it is protected from the sun during most of the day.
The Dendrobium ochreatum is a quite delicate plant, which can’t stand the cold weather; when the autumnal temperatures go below 15°C let’s bring them inside the apartment.

alpine : Locate this plant in a partially shaded place, where it can receive a few hous of direct solar light.
Let’s avoid exposing the Dendrobium ochreatum to temperatures below 15°C; when the autumnal climate brings nocturnal minimum temperatures quite low let’s move our plants inside the apartment.

mediterranean : We suggest a pretty sheltered location, so that the plant can receive direct solar rays only during the coolest hours of the day.
We advise growing these plants in a sheltered place; when the autumnal temperatures go below 15°C it’s best to locate the The Dendrobium ochreatum in the apartment.

continental : Let’s water every 0-1 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water, or even more often if the weather is hot and dry; we should always try to keep the ground slightly damp.

alpine : Water regularly, every 1-2 weeks, wetting the soil thoroughly by using 0-1 glasses of water and keeping it always a bit moist, although avoiding to soak it too much.

mediterranean : For a balanced development these plants need constant and abundant dampness; during this time of year it is good to water frequently, about 2-3 glasses of water at least every -0-0 weeks.

Treatments Dendrobium ochreatum : Let’s use an anticoccidiosis, only if necessary; it is best to avoid spraying the flowers with the insecticide compound which could ruin them. We should remember to keep the plants in windy and damp place.
