# My little Dendrobium cork mount is considering blooming. I might get…

_Posted by Amy on 2026-01-14_

My little Dendrobium cork mount is considering blooming. I might get one flower this year. 😊 I’ve been struggling to get it to bloom. The cork mount has been in cooler temps for a while now (it’s been under a grow light in the garage where it’s cold). Should I bring it back to warmer temperatures (inside the house) and start fertilizing again? Should I water more frequently now too? Thanks in advance for your advice. ❤️❤️🪴❤️❤️

Specific care requirements depend on the type Dendrobium you have.

If it were mine and I didn’t know the type, I would bring it inside and gradually restart watering and be even slower to reintroduce fertilizer.

I think it’s a Dendrobium kingianum and it would have a light purple/pink flower. At least that’s what I remember when it last bloomed. But I don’t remember when this cork mount bloomed last. Lol.

I don’t have experience with this one so went to AOS. They recommend water only when dry while spike forms and resume regular water once plant enters active growth.

I found a pic of the last time it flowered - August 2025.
