I bought 4 beautiful dendrobium orchids in December last year.

I wanted them for a very long time. These dendrobiums are very beautiful and fragrant. The dendrobiums are
Dendrobium anosmum
Dendrobium parishii
Dendrobium Nestor
Dendrobium Nestor 6 eyes
They all take the same care. They look similar to the dendrobium aphyllum.
Anosmum and parishii are species while the Nestor is hybrid
These orchids bloom in spring. They put out buds in late winter.
During winter , anosmum and parishii and the Nestor should be allowed to take winter rest. This helps them promote buds. During winter rest, there should zero water and zero fertilizer.
These dendrobiums shed their leaves during winter rest. The canes become leafless. Blooms arise from nodes starting from the tip. Keikis start forming along with the buds from the base of the orchid.
