Hi there,

My apologies if I missed the answer, but I'm now also curious as to the fall/winter care of Dendrobiums as I have a Dendrobium Salaya Stripe (phal I believe). Can someone provide some insight regarding fertilizers, lighting & watering etc?

I'd prefer to keep this one alive as it is beautiful. I'm in SoCal and pretty new to the beautiful orchid world.

Thank you kindly! :blushing:
Den. Salaya Stripe does not appear to be a registered hybrid. If it is a Phal type, then it is not a cool growing one that needs a rest. It should be kept reasonably warm and watered before it completely dries year round.

So after searching around, the dendrobium little sweet scent hybrid of a Den. anosmum and Den. parishii. It is deciduous, i am assuming, and needs some sort of a winter rest. I am just unsure whether it is a hard winter rest or not. The idea of not watering some orchids for a month or three, is weirding me out!

Thanks for all of the help!
It's reduced water, - don't let then wither/shrivel -- but no fertiliser.

How long is a Dendrobium 'winter rest'?
 
It's not too convenient to take one or two orchids from a collection and give them very different temperature conditions. I'm thinking of Dendrobium loddegesii in particular, with the need for a chilly period to initiate flowering. How short can such a period be and yet be successful? I guess the same applies to D. aggregatum.

Den. loddigesii is about 6 weeks. Den. aggregatum seems to be rather temperamental and people report problems blooming it.
