Dendrochilum wenzelii- Red Form

Sunlight Bright, filtered light (2,000–3,500 fc). Can tolerate some morning direct sun. Leaves should be medium green.

Temperature Intermediate to warm: 55–90°F (13–32°C). Soft cane dendrobiums benefit from a cool, dry winter rest to trigger blooming.

Water Thoroughly when medium approaches dryness (every 4–7 days in active growth). Reduce watering in winter for soft cane types. Good drainage is essential. Water at the base of the plant to avoid leaf spotting.

Nutrition Fertilize weekly, weakly. Generally 1/4 - 1/2 tsp per gallon, per week.

When will it ship?
Live plants ship on Mondays and Tuesdays only, so they never sit in a carrier facility over the weekend. Supplies and pottery ship within 5–7 days; if they’re in the same order as a plant, everything ships together on Monday or Tuesday.

Cold-weather shipping
We only ship live plants when temperatures are 40°F or above. Below 50°F we include a free 72-hour heat pack and ship to arrive within 1–3 days; addresses that need more than 3 days in transit require an expedited upgrade. In the coldest months plant shipments may pause until it warms up.
