Cuttings of Dendrobium candidum

One of the ways of propagation of Dendrobium candidum is cutting, and many flower friends like to look at diagrams, so the editor sorted out a cutting diagram of Dendrobium candidum for flower friends' reference, in order to make them simple and clear, so some too theoretical details are omitted, but it is important to remember that cutting media do not use soil!

Dendrobium candidum cuttings we have two ways to choose, one is to plant directly into the medium (such as water moss or bark, do not use soil).

The other is to put Dendrobium candidum horizontally on the medium and press it slightly at the bottom.

The following is the branch selection treatment, if it can be cut directly from the mother plant, we choose 1-2-year-old branches, sunny and short nodes, full bud tips. Use bud holes above the middle of the plant as cuttings, not flowering branches or twigs.

If the branches are obtained from other ways, it is best to choose those with budding eyes, so that the success rate of cutting is high.

The reason why we said that we must not use soil as a medium, this is because Dendrobium candidum is an epiphyte, which mainly grows on the wet trunk or limestone of some tall trees under natural conditions. so if we cut the branches into the soil like other plants, the result is mostly rot. And insert water moss and other media because of its good air permeability, not easy to rot the root.

In addition, after cutting, we should pay attention to moisturizing and shading. Dendrobium likes a warm and humid environment, usually shading at least 60%.
