Dendrobium Allegra

This is a robust hybrid from Dend. White Angel and Emma White, known for its easy care and abundant, long-lasting blooms. Ideal for beginners, it belongs to the Phalaenanthe/Antelope sections and offers striking floral displays with minimal effort.

• Light: Requires high light intensity to flower well, but protect from harsh midday sun. Target a range of 35,000 to 50,000 lux. Leaves should be medium-green; very dark leaves mean insufficient light.
• Temperature: This orchid prefers warm to intermediate conditions year-round. Daytime temperatures from 70-85°F (21-29°C), dropping to 60-65°F (16-18°C) at night.
• Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity between $50-$$70\%$. Excellent, constant air movement is mandatory to prevent fungal issues in high humidity.
• Watering: Water only when the potting mix is nearly dry. This fast-growing orchid in small pots may need frequent watering in warm seasons. In cooler months, reduce watering but prevent the pseudobulbs from shriveling.

Additional Notes

This hard-stemmed plant produces long-lasting flowers in spikes that emerge from the upper nodes of mature stems. The stems are tall and erect, and may lose their foliage to give way to new growth.
