Dendrobium likes morning sunlight, but don't expose directly to the hot sun they need to be shaded. The ideal temperature for this plant is 75 and 85 °F in the daytime and 60 and 65 ° F in the nighttime. Give them heavy water and fertilizer, but allow them to dry out between the watering. As these types of orchids grow naturally on trees they are used to becoming dry between rains. Repot every couple of years. It is best to grow in basket or in containers.
