Dendrobium Butterfly Jewel f. pink

A pink-flowered selection of the cross between Dendrobium Mtn's Butterfly Kisses and Dendrobium agathodaemonis, this hybrid features broad, overlapping blooms with a softly sparkling texture. Orange-red accents around the lip opening add a bright contrast to the rosy petals.

• Light: Bright, indirect light near an east-facing window or beneath light greenhouse shade. Protect from strong midday sun.
• Temperature: Cool to intermediate-growing; aim for days of 65–77°F (18–25°C) and nights of 55–62°F (13–17°C). Avoid prolonged heat and provide a gentle nighttime temperature drop.
• Humidity: Aim for 60–80% humidity with steady, gentle air circulation, especially around closely spaced leaves and canes.
• Watering: Keep the root zone lightly moist during active growth, allowing the surface of an airy mix to begin drying between waterings. Reduce frequency in cooler conditions without imposing a prolonged dry rest; never leave roots waterlogged.

Additional Notes:

Narrow, dark green leaves and slender canes form a compact, clustered plant with flowers held close to the foliage. Use a snug pot with a fine, airy orchid mix, retaining healthy older canes. Repot when new roots begin developing, and feed lightly with diluted orchid fertilizer during active growth.
