Dear Rita: Most of the commonly-sold Dens are year-round growers. They
like 50% or more sun [some more than others], to dry out very thoroughly
between waterings, to be potted "snugly" [if the pot looks way too small for
the plant, it's probably about right], and to be fed lightly every 3rd or
4th watering.

If by chance you got one of the Dens that needs a winter rest, you do the
above in warm weather, but then cease feeding and cut way back on watering
in fall [whenever your temps start to drop], resume when you see buds or new
growth in the spring. Good growing,

Hi, Does anyone have any feeding and care instructions on the Dendrobium
Orchid. I never had an orchid before. I want it to bloom again and don't
know how to take care of it. Thank you in advance, Rita
