You can not make that assumption! The Dendrobium family of orchids is one of the largest groups within Orchidacea with over 20 sections and a few hundred species. Cultural conditions naturally vary.
In brief, you have a " Dendrobium Phalaenopsis" type. It is warmer growing 65-85 degrees. It likes to be watered well and dry out between waterings. It needs a few hours of direct sunlight in order to bloom properly.
That is it in a nutshell. They like weak fertilizer perhaps every other month. If you need further information just let us know.
