The successful cultivation and production of high-quality Dendrobium cv. Singapore White orchids rely on proper nutrient management. Inorganic nutrients play a vital role in the growth, flowering, and overall quality of these orchids. This study aims to investigate the influence of inorganic nutrients on the growth, flowering, and quality of Dendrobium cv. Singapore White. A series of experiments were conducted to determine the optimal nutrient composition and concentration for promoting growth, enhancing flowering, and improving the quality attributes of the orchids. Different inorganic nutrient formulations and application methods were tested to assess their effects on plant performance. Parameters such as plant height, leaf development, flower number, flower size, color intensity, fragrance, and post-harvest shelf life were evaluated to gauge the impact of the nutrient treatments. The findings provide valuable insights into the specific nutrient requirements and their influence on the growth, flowering, and quality attributes of Dendrobium cv. Singapore White. These results can guide orchid growers in implementing effective nutrient management strategies to maximize the production of high-quality orchids.
