| For flowers to last 4 months is pretty good. Don't have one, but hear it is very sensitive to temperature, likes it cool. You probably need to do some goolgle research on this one.
Well, wait a minute, I have Baker's book on Dendrobiums, will look it up. Nights: low 50's F all year. Days: mid 70's all year. 6-8 F warmer or cooler may work. Likely extremes 87 and 28 F. Light 1500-3000 fc. Higher light is usually in winter. Keep moist all year, do not allow to dry out. Says it may like it in front of an evaorative cooler or near a mist head. By the way, these culture sheets can be purchase from Baker's web site for a nominal amount of money and in my opinion they are worth it. His books, particularly the Dendrobium and the Oncidium books, are a tremendous value. He has about a 1000 Dendrobiums covered in that book, and probably a similar number of Oncidium alliance plants in the other book.
