Dendrobium orchids are one of the easier orchid varieties to grow. They make a wonderful flowering houseplant that adds the perfect amount of color to any room, desktop, or window sill. Dendrobium orchids add a stylish note to any space.
We recommend a fairly high light intensity for dendrobium orchids. Generally, cattleya light (2000-3000 foot-candles) is most suitable. If they are grown in the home, a brightly lit south or east light exposure is best.
Evergreen-type dendrobiums require heavy watering in the growing season (spring and summer). As the new growth matures by fall, watering should be somewhat curtailed but not so much as to let the canes shrivel back.
Adjust humidity by seasons. Higher in the summer growing months, around 50-70%, and lower in the winter, around 40-50%.
Most dendrobium orchids do well in an intermediate temperature zone. Day temps should be in the 70-90 degree range, and night temps should be in the 55-62 degree range.
Dendrobium orchids require heavy feeding during their growth period, in general. But as with watering, feeding should be curtailed during the fall and the winter months.
Repotting at the proper time is most important. For dendrobiums, spring is the best time to repot. Make sure that the new growth (with root action) has started before transplanting. Dendrobiums like to be somewhat root-bound. Allow minimal space for new growth. Use a coarse fir bark that allows perfect drainage.
Hydrangeas do well in partially shaded areas like under a large tree or on the side of a house. They like to receive sun in the morning, and the partial shade is in the heat of the afternoon. In Colorado, too much full sun will cause them to get sunburned.
Hydrangea shrubs need to have well-draining soils that is rich in organic matter. Most Colorado soils will benefit from the addition of peat moss and compost that helps retain moisture. The pH determines the colors of the blooms. Acidic soil will give you blue flowers, and alkaline soil gives you pink flowers. Â
If hydrangea shrubs are given too much high-nitrogen fertilizer, they may grow full and lush, but there will be fewer flowers. If the soil is rich, fertilizer is not needed. Otherwise, a light application in March or April may be warranted.
Make sure to water your hydrangea shrubs regularly. Those big blooms require a lot of water to stay lush and full. About one inch of water throughout the week is ideal. If they receive more sun give them at least two inches during the hotter summer days.
