How to raise Dendrobium in summer? In this way, the stems are strong and the leaves keep popping up.

Recently, I have talked with many flower friends about the cultivation of Dendrobium. What is more impressive is that most people are not farmed for the beauty brought by Dendrobium itself. Most people are aimed at the legendary efficacy and function of Dendrobium. What clearing deficiency heat, strengthening muscles and bones, tonifying spleen and stomach, many flower friends can say it out of their mouths.

Perhaps it is because they are too clear about the purpose of Dendrobium culture, so they pursue the speed of growth too much and always inadvertently ignore some problems. so their farmed Dendrobium seems to be not ideal in their chat words. For example, some flower friends said that only the stalks of their farmed Dendrobium were left, and the top stalks were dry and white, and some even found that their farmed Dendrobium had no roots, and those who raised a little better were relatively thin and thin. The leaves are also relatively small. So in the hot summer, how can Dendrobium grow well? Today, Hua'ergu will come and study with you.

How to raise Dendrobium in summer?

This is a thought-provoking topic, especially in the areas where we have a clear division of the four seasons, we have to consider this issue in each season. How to raise Dendrobium in spring? How to raise it in autumn? How to raise it in winter? All the ways and methods of aquaculture change with the change of seasons, in which the required breeding techniques can be imagined. It is more difficult to cultivate Dendrobium without certain technical skills of flower culture.

However, things may not be as complicated as imagined. We need to analyze the characteristics of the seasons for Dendrobium cultivation in summer. Maybe we have a general direction on how to raise us.

For example, high temperature and strong light are very obvious characteristics in summer. with the occurrence of high temperature and strong light, water evaporation must be more, and watering is one of the problems that we need to pay attention to.

In addition, under the strong light, our Dendrobium inevitably needs shade maintenance, because Dendrobium is a kind of plant that likes semi-shady and humid environment. If there is no shade maintenance, we can not meet the needs of the growth environment of Dendrobium, which we know from the growth habits of Dendrobium. So the shade should be at least 80% above in summer.

Like humid Dendrobium in the environment of strong evaporation, there is a natural requirement for air humidity, so it seems necessary to spray Dendrobium to moisturize and cool down every day.

Of course, due to regional differences, many things can not be quantified for people's unified reference, but a basic growth and maintenance environment is the basis, we learn from each other. Next, let's talk about the growth conditions that we can refer to, although we can't quantify them specifically.

Culture substrate

The cultivation of Dendrobium is recommended to use some moss, small stones, pine bark or some sawdust. When using small stones, you need to match more moss, which can have the effect of water conservation. However, if conditions permit, we can use pine bark culture, which is a very ideal culture medium. Pine bark has its own unique advantages in water conservation, drainage and ventilation. When the pine bark is put into a pot to cultivate Dendrobium for the first time, we need to soak all of it in water for at least 24 hours. In this way, the water can be fully soaked into it. After watering, it is easier to infiltrate into the interior and maintain a good water storage effect.

Watering and moisturizing

When raising Dendrobium in summer, we have to deal with water every day. Except that the surface bark of the substrate needs to be watered after drying out, it is usually necessary to give Dendrobium spray moisturizing and replenishing water in the sunny and sunny evening of every day. If you can't spray Dendrobium regularly, the leaves of Dendrobium will not grow or will soon dry up.

Shading and ventilation

In summer, strong light and high temperature coexist, and ultraviolet rays are very strong. Dendrobium candidum will not grow leaves or wither leaves, and finally there will be dry and white stems on the bare surface. When the surrounding environment is muggy, it will inhibit the growth of Dendrobium, and in serious cases, it will lead to plant death. So it is very necessary for Dendrobium to grow well in summer, shading more than 80%. Shading should not sacrifice the ventilation effect of the environment, otherwise it will lead to poor growth of Dendrobium.

These are some of the ways to raise Dendrobium in summer. We need to know that Dendrobium is a kind of plant that likes semi-shady environment, humid environment, warm climate and high air humidity. Strong light, high temperature and dry nature can not keep it well. For example, in some cases of Dendrobium culture shown in the picture above, shading is far from meeting the requirements, equivalent to exposure to sunlight, the growth of Dendrobium is inhibited, and the growth effect is not ideal.
