Dendrobium laevifolium

So is hibiki deciduous or evergreen? I got mine a month ago and has a leaf turning yellow. I water when totally dried out
Thanks

I have two Den. bracteosum (the other parent of the Den. Hibiki) and I keep mine well watered and fertilized most of the year. I don’t let them dry out spring-fall and only let them get slightly dry in the winter. These will lose their leaves though on old canes. Mine seem to hold on to their leaves for a season or two, at least.


And Steve, that color came out beautiful on your laevifolium!

My Hibiki is on a southeast window with same light my Iwanagaara was in when it bloomed, no direct sun. Is this too much light? And you all are saying to give it lots of water. I thought dendrobiums liked to dry out. I am so confused
