Distinctive Features

Growth Habit: This epiphytic orchid grows on trees, clinging to branches with its thick roots. It has slender, cane-like stems that can reach up to 50 cm (20 inches) in length. The stems are adorned with numerous, closely-set leaves that are arranged in two ranks.
Flowers: Dendrobium luzonense produces clusters of small, delicate white and yellow flowers. The flowers typically measure around 2 cm (0.8 inches) in diameter and have a long, slender spur. The lip of the flower is often fringed and adorned with yellow or orange markings. The flowers typically appear in spring and fall.
Easy Care: This orchid is known for its ease of care, making it an excellent choice for both experienced and novice growers.

Care Tips

Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
Water: Water regularly, keeping the potting media moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during the winter months.
Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity levels, around 50-70%. You can achieve this by misting the plant regularly or using a humidity tray.
Temperature: This orchid prefers intermediate to warm temperatures, ideally between 18-28°C (64-82°F) during the day and 13-18°C (55-64°F) at night.
Potting Media: Use a well-draining orchid potting mix, such as bark or a mixture of bark and sphagnum moss.
Fertiliser: Fertilise weakly, every other week during the growing season (spring-summer) with a balanced orchid fertiliser.
Air Circulation: Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
