Unless otherwise stated in the item size, these are grower's choice.Dendrobium 'Thai Pearl' is a miniature variegated Dendrobium orchid hybrid (Dendrobium Lloyd Stainton × Dendrobium Mini Pearl, registered by Suphachadiwong with the RHS in 1992). Yellow-margined leaves with purple splashes make this orchid striking even when out of bloom; in summer it produces clusters of small purple flowers. An easy-to-grow mini that thrives in intermediate conditions.Grower's choice: All plants are hand-selected for health. Photos are representative of current stock — variegation pattern, size, and growth count will vary from plant to plant.Care: Light: Bright, indirect light. Morning sun is welcome; avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the variegated leaves. Water: Water once a week — drench thoroughly in the sink and let it drain fully. Reduce to roughly every 10 days in winter dormancy. Feed: Dendrobiums are heavy feeders. Use a balanced orchid fertilizer at roughly half strength twice a month during active growth. Medium: Coarse orchid mix — fir bark, charcoal, and perlite. Repot every 1-2 years when the medium breaks down. Temperature: Intermediate — comfortable in typical home temperatures (65-80°F). Insulation and/or Heat Pack strongly recommended for shipping when temperatures drop below 50°F.For pest prevention I use beneficial insects, and otherwise treat with natural, chemical-free products like PureCrop1.Display photos may be of mother plants or prop pots and do not represent the plant size — please review the size variants before purchasing.
