Dendrobium 'Dawn Maree'

Dendrobium 'Dawn Maree' is a hybrid orchid known for its long‑lasting white flowers with an orange‑tinged lip, often fragrant at night. It is a primary cross between Dendrobium formosum and Dendrobium cruentum, both species native to tropical Southeast Asia and belonging to the Formosae section. This cultivar reflects the epiphytic habit and sequential flowering of its parents, typically blooming in spring and often continuing through the year under cultivation.

Care Tips:

• Light – Prefers bright, filtered light such as semi‑shade
• Water – Water when the growing medium has dried out; avoid waterlogging
• Humidity – Benefits from moderate to high humidity
• Media – Use a coarse, free‑draining orchid mix (e.g. bark, charcoal)
• Temperature – Grows best in intermediate to warm conditions (~20–30 °C)
• Fertiliser – Feed with a balanced orchid fertiliser during active growth
• Repotting – Repot when the medium degrades, typically every 2–3 years
