Will a Dendrobium bloom in hot temperatures?
Hello,
I have a Dendrobium since the past 9 months and want to make it bloom. However the current temperatures here reach 35-36 degrees Celsius in the afternoons, and can go up to 37-38. The plant is consistently growing roots. I have a fertilizer mix which is specialized for blooming (NPK: 13-40-13), and also a high nitrogen one for growth. What can I do to induce blooming? |
What kind of dendrobium?

I think it is some hybrid: Dendrobium honey nectar BS |
As you know, a quick search turns up lots of Dendrobium "honey"...we need more to go on. You have enough posts to take a picture, please.

Yes, this is the plant:

It might not be getting enough light, that would be a good place to start. They definitely like bright filtered sun. It looks like a Den-phal type (I think..) and those do not need a cool down to bloom like the the nobile or semi-nobile types. That’s good news about the roots though!

Well, it is sitting by the window with a lot of light.
Most of the day it gets indirect sunlight and for a short period it gets direct sun. |
It's hard to tell in a picture, but that looks like a pretty low-light situation to me. The large plant outside the window will also be blocking the light somewhat. Do you have a light meter? If not, you can get a rough idea by trying to cast a shadow on the leaves of the plant; you should be able to see a definite shadow-edge line. If the line is not clearly defined, the light may be inadequate.
You didn't say if you re-potted the plant when you got it. If not, this would be a good time, as roots are growing. |

I did re-pot the plant shortly after receiving it. |
