Dendrobium is planted in this way to make the stem strong and the green leaves burst.

Dendrobium, as a good health product, has been known by more and more flower friends in recent years. Many flower friends want or have raised a pot at home. After initial contact, everyone will find that Dendrobium cultivation is different from flower cultivation, the most obvious of which is that the substrate of cultivation is essentially different.

Many flower friends will buy some good-looking dendrobium from the Internet and plant them in potted plants at home. However, many friends will find that no matter how vigorous the dendrobium grows when they get it, after a period of cultivation, it will slowly become bare, the leaves are almost dried up, and the stems of dendrobium are almost white. What was going on? In fact, this is because we do not understand the growth habits of Dendrobium thoroughly, failed to create a suitable environment for Dendrobium growth caused. Today, Flower Valley will tell you how to cultivate Dendrobium. After learning this article, I believe everyone will have a general understanding of Dendrobium cultivation.

Dendrobium, also known as Xianhu orchid rhyme, immortal grass, reviving grass, purple flowers, orchids, flowers and so on. is an orchid dendrobium plant Chinese herbal medicine which has the effects of clearing away deficiency heat, tonifying spleen and stomach, strengthening bones and muscles, etc. Dendrobium flowers are bright in color, elegant in flower posture, exquisite and lovely, and fragrant in smell. It is known as one of the "four ornamental flowers".

Dendrobium is a plant that likes to grow in a humid and warm, semi-yin and semi-yang environment. It has a relatively high humidity requirement for the air, generally above 80%. Therefore, after understanding, we will find that Dendrobium was first grown in subtropical deep forests, and these forests need loose and thick bark, Dendrobium can grow on tree trunks, and some cliff crevices are also very common Dendrobium roots thrive.

It can be seen that we need to create such a suitable condition for Dendrobium growth in the indoor environment of Dendrobium cultivation at home or through some efforts. Below we explain in detail how to create such a condition!

First of all, it is the substrate problem of dendrobium growth. Dendrobium breeding substrate We can go to the forest to find some bark, such as thick pine bark, etc., this bark for Dendrobium growth is very beneficial, in terms of water retention and ventilation have their own unique advantages. In addition, we can also find some small stones, moss, sawdust and other substances, moss and sawdust have a very good water absorption and moisturizing effect, especially moss, which has a very loose ability to retain water and breathe. We can go to some park woodland or relatively cool and humid small houses around to find some moss collection, for Dendrobium cultivation is very good.

Second, water conditions. Dendrobium needs a lot of water, on the one hand, watering of the substrate, on the other hand, moisturizing of the air. Dendrobium cultivation requires more than 80% air humidity, if the air is too dry, it will lead to the phenomenon of drying of its leaves. Therefore, we can first find a semi-shady environment to place it in, and then we can increase the moisture content of the substrate by increasing watering, and we can also spray it every day to increase the humidity of its growing air environment. In addition, we can also use a water-filled basin placed under the dendrobium potted plant, through the evaporation of water to enhance the humidity of its surrounding environment, is also quite effective. If conditions permit, a hygrometer can be placed around it to pay attention to the humidity of the air at all times, which is necessary for the cultivation of Dendrobium.

Finally, Dendrobium can't grow under strong light. Dendrobium likes half shade, we just need to keep some scattered light shining on it. There is no need to keep them in the sun. If the breeding location has direct sunlight, we need to use shade nets for shade. Preventing sun exposure is also a necessary means to promote Dendrobium growth.

The above are some of the knowledge points that need to be paid attention to in the substrate conditions, water conditions and light conditions of Dendrobium cultivation introduced by Huaer Valley. In addition, we may also be more concerned about the fertilization of Dendrobium, we have already had relevant special articles introduced before, here will not repeat.
