The Nobile Dendrobium orchid is a genus of the Dendrobium orchids. Dendrobiums are native to the far east and grow epiphytically on tree branches from the warm lowlands to the cool highlands up to 4000 feet. Kept dry, they can survive in winter down to 35 degrees. Most blooming occurs from February to April.
Nobile Dendrobium orchids require lots of light. No shade is required during the winter months, and only about 30% shading is suggested during the summer months. With this amount of light, good air circulation is a must to keep leaves from burning.
A direct relationship exists between temperature, light, and watering. As temps begin to rise in the spring, watering should be gradually increased. In the warm summer months, water frequently to keep plants from drying. As temps decline during the fall, reduce watering. During the cold winter months, water only enough to keep the canes from shriveling – about 2 or 3 times a month. Water temps should feel tepid to the touch.
Nobile Dendrobiums orchids prefer temperatures ranging from 55 – 85 degrees. Lower temps around 50 degrees for about a month are needed to initiate flowering. Try placing the plants in a cool window or outside to initiate flowering. Stagnant air should be avoided with all orchids.
Use fertilizer sparingly with all orchids. Nobile Dendrobium orchids like to have a high nitrogen mix to initiate plant growth. If potted in a bark mix, use 30-10-10. Withhold all fertilizer in winter.
 Do not overpot Nobile Dendrobium orchids. The plants usually appear to be too small a pot—bark mixed with charcoal, sphagnum moss to maintain healthy roots. Osmunda and tree fern can all be used as potting media.
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.
