Care Instructions:
Light: Dendrochilum wenzelii thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some early morning or late afternoon sun, but it's best to protect it from harsh, direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
Water: Keep the potting medium consistently moist, but ensure it drains well to avoid waterlogging. Water the plant when the top inch of the medium feels dry to the touch.
Humidity: This orchid prefers high humidity levels, ideally between 60-80%. Placing the plant near a humidifier or on a humidity tray can help maintain the necessary moisture.
Temperature: Dendrochilum wenzelii enjoys intermediate temperatures, with an ideal range of 60-80°F (16-27°C). Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F (10°C) or above 85°F (29°C).
Soil: A well-draining orchid mix, such as a blend of fine bark, charcoal, and sphagnum moss, is ideal for Dendrochilum wenzelii. This mix ensures good aeration and moisture retention for the roots.
