How to raise Dendrobium candidum?

Dendrobium candidum is a kind of epiphytic plant, which generally grows on cool and moist tree trunks in the native environment, so if we want to plant it well, we have to imitate the native environment species.

Key points of maintenance:

1. Light

First of all, it is the light. Dendrobium candidum is particularly afraid of the sun. I planted it as a grass flower for the first time.

Now I plant Dendrobium candidum in the back of the sun, will not be in the direct sun, grow very well! The leaves are green and the stems are stout.

On the balcony, you can plant it near the corner of the wall without chunks or coconut bran, so that you can get a similar native environment. Where there is sun, students on the terrace can plant under tall plants.

two。 Basin soil

What is epiphyte? That is to say, it is attached to a woody plant, not planted in the mud. So grow Dendrobium candidum, you can use broken wood planting, do not use mud ah.

The pole of Dendrobium candidum is fleshy, will it be very afraid of water? We use broken wood, which is well drained. Just don't let it accumulate water.

Is there any other way to avoid stagnant water besides using broken wood? That is to choose a flowerpot with good drainage. I use a pot for growing orchids with a lot of drainage holes all over my body. If you use an ordinary flowerpot, you can punch a few holes with scissors.

3. Watering

When watering, we must pay attention to two points: one is to water thoroughly, and the other is not to use tap water!

If watered thoroughly, it is easy to understand that it is good for root growth and can bring fresh air to avoid rotting roots when watered.

The reason for not using tap water is that it contains residual chlorine, which is very bad for its growth. If you use well water or Rain Water to water it, you really don't have to leave the tap water for two days to let the chlorine evaporate.

In summer, because of the hot weather, easy to lack of water, so I planted some moss on the surface, which can play a moisturizing role, but also can look beautiful!

4. Fertilizer application

Planting Dendrobium candidum does not recommend the use of chemical fertilizer, although the use of chemical fertilizer can grow fast but will reduce its effective ingredients!

I usually use organic fertilizer when applying fertilizer, which is green, environmentally friendly and pollution-free. In the Spring and Autumn period, I will bury 10-20g of sheep dung on the surface of the flowerpot. Sheep dung can slowly release nutrients for its growth, ensuring normal nutritional needs. At ordinary times, you can water it with cake fertilizer and water.

How to pick Dendrobium candidum?

We all know that Dendrobium candidum can be used as medicine, so how to pick it?

The annual growth of Dendrobium candidum is as follows: new buds grow from February to May, new buds grow new roots in May, and blossom one after another from April to October. From 10 to February, it grows slowly and accumulates nutrients.

So if you want to pick, you have to pick branches after February. But the flowers of Dendrobium candidum can also be used as medicine, so I choose to pick them in March-April, so that I can not only use the stem as medicine but also pick flowers!

The method of picking is also very simple, that is, use scissors to distance a branch from the surface.
