Phalaenopsis vs Dendrobium: blooming, temperature, cold tolerance, and price for orchid beginners.
Comparing two beginner orchid species.
Phalaenopsis (Moth Orchid): A gift-giving staple. Flowers last impressively long at 2-3 months. Requires temperature management above 15°C. Dendrobium: Relatively cold-tolerant (down to about 5°C) and easy to grow in Japan's climate. Expose to low temperatures in autumn to trigger flower bud differentiation.
