Dendrobium newbie - basic care help needed Female
Default Dendrobium newbie - basic care help needed

Hi there!

I got my very first dend yesterday as a gift and I tried most of the day and evening to do research, but I ended up quite confused (pretty sure I killed a few brain cells too). I was planning on sticking with phals until I get the hang of orchids, but I can't deny this lovely little flower... but it all reads so complicated! I am not prepared at all - the only thing I learned is that it likes little pots/constrained roots lol. So instead of me making mistakes and fumbling about and not having a clue, I thought I would ask the experts! Any info, tips, suggestions will help!

What kind of dendrobium is it? How do I take care of it? Please help me!

info: I have an eastern facing window where I can provide direct or indirect sunlight - temp., humidity and air circulation can be changed as needed. I have a western facing window that gets a lot of hot afternoon sun, this room is always warm and humid as it's closest to the large fish tank, and i can't do much about that, but I can diffuse the light if needed, and the temp does drop a bit at night.

My phals are in the room with the east facing window...
I would very much like to be able to keep my orchids all in one spot though, so if I can tweak the conditions a bit to make both types happy lemme know. Thanks in advance!
