Pot planting method of Dendrobium candidum (suitable for humid areas south of the Yangtze River)

One. The container chooses a flowerpot with a larger diameter at the bottom or a hole around it, which requires good air permeability and good leachability.

Two. The lower layer of the matrix is covered with larger stones or bricks to facilitate water drainage and ventilation, the middle layer is made of smaller stones or broken bricks, and the materials with better water absorption are selected as far as possible, such as ceramsite, blue stone and broken bricks, and the upper layer is fermented pine trees.

Three. when planting Dendrobium, be careful not to bury the stem of the seedling into the substrate, which can cover most of the roots and water thoroughly after planting.

Four. fertilize the orchid special slow-release fertilizer around the root of Dendrobium, then cover it with a small amount of bark and water it again.

Five. after planting, put the tin pot in a well-ventilated, semi-shaded environment, such as a well-lit windowsill, a balcony without direct sunlight or a sunshade.

Note: when the environment of potted Dendrobium is open, it is necessary to place Dendrobium all the time under the balcony big-leaf plants, which block too much light. Growers usually only water and have not been hit with pesticides, and fertilizer is a slow-release fertilizer added when planting. Later, add some Haokangduo fertilizer. The new buds of Dendrobium grew rapidly in overcast and rainy weather, and grew slowly when the temperature was high and the humidity was low in sunny days. The usual management is to water it several times a day on a sunny day.
