Under natural conditions, it mainly grows on the damp trunk or limestone of some tall trees.

Ramet propagation

Dendrobium is mainly propagated by individual plants. when dividing plants, one-year-old or two-year-old plants with bright green color, strong germination, developed root system and no diseases and insect pests are selected as seed plants, the withered branches, broken branches, old branches and overlong fibrous roots are cut off, and the plant clump is divided into small clumps with 5-7 stems with leaves in each cluster.
