Plant description
Masses of creamy flowers with pink blushes and a deep yellow eye grow on sturdy, bamboo-like stems, making Dendrobium 'Bright Eyes' an ideal addition to any well-lit indoor space. Blooming for up to ten weeks from spring to summer, this orchid offers both fragrance and beauty. It also serves a practical purpose by purifying the air, removing harmful chemicals such as xylene, often found in paints and varnishes. Whether in modern or traditional settings, this long-lasting orchid adds elegance and freshness to your home or office.
Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option. If you are looking to purchase separately, a minimum of a 14cm pot cover will be required.

How to care for Dendrobium Bright Eyes:
Place this orchid in a bright spot but not in direct sun in a moderately warm room when in flower. Let the compost dry out slightly on the surface before watering with tepid soft water, or rain water, allowing any excess water to drain away and then remove - it's important that the plant is not left sitting in water. Make sure the plants have good air circulation around the crown, mist regularly with water and feed with orchid fertiliser throughout the growing season. We recommend a specialist orchid compost when repotting.
Once it has flowered you can trim off the spent flowers but leave the 'cane' stems as they may support some more flowers in the following years. Over time some of the older 'canes' may become a bit woody and shrivelled - these can be cut off at the base as long as there are three new healthy canes with leaves. To flower in subsequent years the plant will need cool temperatures and less water in the autumn and early winter for the buds to develop.
Once the buds have formed, however, you can increase the watering and move it back to a warmer room to enjoy the floral display.
