• Watering and Feeding: Between March and mid-November, water and feed the orchid well to support its growth. However, come mid-November, stop fertilizing and reduce watering to prevent shriveling canes.
• Temperature: This orchid prefers a warm to intermediate climate, making it suitable for various regions.
• Light and Humidity: Provide medium to bright, filtered light, and maintain a humidity level between 50% to 80% to promote healthy growth.
• Flowering Season: Sometime in the winter, flower buds will form along the cane. The plant will shed its leaves before flowering, and once the exquisite blooms emerge, they will fill the air with a delightful raspberry and cream scent that lingers for about a month.
• Maintaining Flower Spikes: As you notice flower spikes emerging, ensure to keep the roots more moist to avoid bud blast, enhancing the longevity of the blooms.
• Planting and Potting: These orchids are typically grown in baskets, dangling gracefully. Alternatively, you can choose to stake up the canes and potted in a 4” basket into a clay or plastic pot.

It's essential to note that this particular Dendrobium variety drops its leaves just before the flowering season. Once it finishes flowering, new growths will emerge from the base of the plant, ensuring its continued beauty. Enjoy the alluring raspberry scent that emanates from the lovely flowers.
