Culture methods and matters needing attention of Dendrobium

I. Culture methods

1. Soil

To raise Dendrobium orchid, use loose and breathable soil. Peat moss and charcoal can be mixed as its culture soil. At the same time, you can put some tiles at the bottom of the basin, which will make its roots grow better.

2. Humidity

Dendrobium prefers humid environment and needs to sprinkle some water around it when it is especially hot. Only in this way can the humidity of the air increase, and be careful not to let water accumulate in the basin on a rainy day.

3. Temperature

It likes warmth, and it is usually best to keep the temperature at 15-28 ℃. The temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, because its growth and flowering will be affected if the temperature difference is very small.

4. Lighting

It is more like the semi-shaded environment, it should be shaded in spring and summer, and it should be covered more, about 60%, 70%. But we still need to give it more light in winter, so it can not hide the light, and if you want to cover it, it will only cover 20% and 30%.

5. Fertilization

It will be fertilized in the second year, twice a year, for the first time in April, and can be fermented and applied to the roots to help the buds grow better. The second time was in November, using the same method of fertilization.

II. Points for attention

1. Watering. There should be more water in spring and summer, and less watering after September.

2. Trim. Pay attention to observation at ordinary times, cut off old branches, sick and weak branches and branches that are too dense in time.

3. Change the basin. We have to change the basin in two or three years to give it better growth conditions.
