FAQs
Does the plant come in a decorative pot?
No, the Dendrobium Bright Eyes arrives in a standard 12cm nursery pot.
Can I put the orchid in direct sunlight?
No, direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. Provide bright, indirect light instead.
Should I cut the bamboo-like stems after flowering?
Only trim the spent flowers. Leave the cane stems, as they may support future blooms in subsequent years.
What kind of water is best for this orchid?
Tepid, soft water is ideal for maintaining the health of the plant.
How long do the flowers usually last?
The blooms typically last for up to ten weeks during the spring and summer months.
How do I encourage the plant to flower again?
During autumn and early winter, place the plant in a cooler area and reduce water intake to allow the buds to develop.
Troubleshooting
Leaves are yellowing or dropping
This often indicates overwatering or poor drainage; ensure the plant is not sitting in standing water and allow the compost to dry out more between waterings.
Plant is not blooming again
Ensure the orchid is exposed to cooler temperatures and reduced water during the autumn and early winter rest period to stimulate bud development.
Leaf tips are turning brown
This is usually a sign of low humidity; increase the frequency of misting and ensure good air circulation around the plant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Placement: Position in a bright spot away from direct solar rays.
- Watering: Use tepid, soft water. Allow the surface of the compost to dry slightly before watering again. Ensure the pot has adequate drainage and never leave the plant sitting in water.
- Environment: Maintain good air circulation around the crown. Regular misting helps mimic its natural tropical environment.
- Feeding: Apply orchid-specific fertilizer throughout the active growing season.
- Post-Bloom Care: Once flowers fade, trim the spent blossoms but keep the cane stems. To trigger new buds for the next year, move the plant to a cooler environment during late autumn and early winter with reduced watering frequency.
