Default Supermarket dendrobium

My mother bought a dendrobium at a supermarket and I would like some advice on it's care since my experience is non-existing on dendrobiums. I am including some photos.


Thank you in advance.

Welcome and Hello !
You have come to the right place.

Looking at your pictures, you have a Dendrobium Phalaenopsis kind.

The dendrobium phalaenopsis do well in an east window receiving direct sunlight until 11:00 or 11:30 a.m. and shade for the rest of the day. A south window is also suitable, but remember that the sun's intensity increases dramatically from March 1 to the beginning of October. A sheer curtain should be used then to filter this stronger light. The other problem with a south window is that in mid-summer the sun gets so high that it fails to reach the plant. One can place these plants outside in bright shade from June 1 to September 1, being watchful for frost.
These plants are evergreen and do not require a rest period as some Dendrobiums do. They should be watered as they approach dryness. This can vary from 2 to 5 days, depending on humidity, air movement and the amount of light they receive in your room or outside environment. You have to look for a watering and fertilizer regimen for you plant according to these factors.
These are warm-growing dendrobiums, so they like nights of 60-65 degrees F. and days of 70-85 degrees F. I dont know the calculations in Celsius since you are in Europe...
*also look online for the Baker culture for this kind of plant.
