Dendrobium officinale cultivation methods and precautions

Dendrobium candidum is born on semi-shady rocks in mountains up to 1600 meters above sea level. It is mainly distributed in Anhui, Zhejiang and Fujian in China. Today, I would like to introduce the culture methods and matters needing attention of Dendrobium candidum.

I. Culture method of Dendrobium candidum

1. Matrix

Dendrobium candidum cultivated with soil is light and does not grow, but it dies if it is heavy. Common and practical substrates are mainly pine bark, water moss, gravel, coconut skin, moss, sawdust and so on. Find a big rotten wood to cultivate Dendrobium candidum. The main characteristics of these substances are good water retention, good ventilation and no stagnant water.

two。 Environment

Dendrobium candidum is suitable for growing in a cool, moist and well-ventilated environment. Therefore, we can generally see that many breeding bases are covered with a sunshade net above, which can prevent water from evaporating too quickly and allow it to have suitable lighting conditions.

3. Planting

When planting Dendrobium candidum, we should pay attention to that we can not buy the stem into the substrate, we only need to cover most of its roots with the matrix. Planting too many branches in deep water for a long time will lead to withering and death. After planting, we need to water the substrate thoroughly.

4. Maintenance method

After the planting of Dendrobium candidum is completed, we should always keep it growing in a well-ventilated place and give it shade. Family maintenance is generally placed on the balcony in the north or balcony and windowsill in the east, which can be exposed to the sun in the morning and high temperature in the afternoon, which is not suitable for direct sunlight. Pay attention to shade in summer and try not to let it receive direct light.

Matters needing attention of Dendrobium candidum

When raising Dendrobium candidum on the sunny balcony, we can put it under the large plant and let the large plant block it from the sun. Usually watering needs to be carried out in the evening, high temperature in the afternoon is not suitable for watering. Dendrobium candidum usually grows quickly in cloudy and rainy weather.

The cultivation time of Dendrobium candidum is generally spring and autumn every year, and spring is better than autumn. In Zhejiang, the best time for cultivation of Dendrobium candidum is from mid-April to late June, when the temperature is 12: 25 ℃ and the air humidity is high.
