Orchid Care .. What is wrong?
I think I have a dendrobium orchid. The type that looks like bamboo leaves protruding from the sides evenly. The problem is clear, I noticed black spots on leaves, which appear on the leaves and can be rubbed off as a kind of fungus on the surface or fungus. The plant seems to be doing well and the AI leaves much to lose a couple of old leaves was divided in half. Is this something that requires a change in emphasis, is a disease? or just normal.
normal and the nature of the installation … You can change ……. Dendrobium Dendrobium Dendrobium Phalaenopsis type of attention love that hot! They also like carelessness. Of course, many kinds of Dendrobium – With "Dendrobium Phalaenopsis type" being the easiest to maintain. Antler Dendrobium prefer a type similar. Dendrobium Dendrobium nobile are a bit more picky when it comes to bloom – they like to get in a cooler area of part of the year. Temperature: The ideal day temperature is 75-85 ° C, while the ideal night temperature is 60-65 ° F. Temperature extremes are tolerated occasional if exposure is prolonged. Light: The dendrobium enjoy full morning sun, but the absence of shading 11-3 – less shading will be needed later in the day. An overhead light source is more effective. Water: Dendrobium phalaenopsis types grow best when the medium pots are dry between waterings. They are epiphytes in nature, (ie – that grow on trees) and are used to being fairly dry between the rains of their natural habitat. Repot: Repot once every two years in spring after flowering, or when new growth begins. A mixture of 10 parts fine grade fir bark and 1 part orchid mix will work well in 6 "pots and small, while that the average grade fir bark works well in larger pots. Feeding: the high-nitrogen fertilizer-(25-9-9) can be used all year round a teaspoon per gallon of water. Feed once a month.
