It’s best to water this Orchid species twice a week during the warm period. Practice bottom watering for this plant. When winter comes, give Orchid a drink once a week.

It’s important to prune the Orchid stalks at the base right after the plant finishes flowering to encourage new blooms the next season.

Noble Dendrobium is a heavy feeder that would benefit from regular fertilizing. Nourish the plant twice a month during the spring-summer growing season with Orchid-specific fertilizer.

It’s best to keep the Orchid in a bright place with indirect sunlight. Orchids are protected from harsh sun by other plants in their natural environment, so our task is to create similar conditions. An east-facing window would be best for this flowering beauty.

This Orchid species feels best in a specialized growing medium combined for Orchids. It usually consists of medium-grade fir bark, peat moss, and perlite.

Noble Dendrobium is usually propagated with Orchid keiki. They are baby plants that can be pruned and propagated as usual. Wait until the keiki develops more than 2 roots and several leaves, prune it with a sterile pruning tool, and plant it in a specialized potting mix.

Coming from a mountainous area, the flower prefers a mild temperature of 64-77°F (18-25°C). It would also benefit from a higher humidity level, so it’s recommended to mist the plant’s foliage regularly or introduce a humidifier near it.

Noble Dendrobium is not rootbound and doesn’t require a big pot. It should have drainage holes in the bottom to prevent waterlogging and be made of transparent plastic, preferably, as it helps to mimic the plant’s natural environment.
