Dendrobium Martine Minet f. red Culture
One of the Dendrobium hybrids we produce at Ecuagenera, Dendrobium Martine Minet f. red does best under cool-to-intermediate conditions.
-
Light: Bright light; a few hours of gentle sun help flowering.
-
Temperature: It prefers days of 18-26 °C (64-79 °F) and cooler nights around 12-18 °C (54-64 °F).
-
Humidity: High humidity (70-85%) with constant gentle air movement, much like its cloud-forest conditions, keeps the plant healthy and prevents fungal spots.
-
Watering: Water regularly during active growth, allowing the medium to begin drying between waterings. Reduce slightly during the cooler months.
Additional notes: The lowercase epithet 'red' tells you this is the red color form of the species, distinct from its typical coloring - these selected forms are favorites among collectors.
