How often should I water Dendrobium candidum?

Dendrobium officinale likes a humid growing environment. During maintenance, the substrate must be kept moist and the air humidity must be maintained above 80%. Watering should be done in a dry rather than wet environment, and care should be taken not to allow water to accumulate.

It is enough to water Dendrobium officinale once every 3-5 days on average, but the watering frequency varies in different seasons, and there are also certain differences in the north and south.

1. Watering in spring

Spring is the season when all things come back to life, and Dendrobium officinale is also in its vigorous growth period, so watering must be timely. Under normal circumstances, it should be watered once a day.

2. Watering in summer

The temperature is high in summer and water evaporates quickly. At this time, you can water the plants twice a day, in the early morning and evening, to reduce the negative impact on the plants.

3. Watering in autumn

As the weather gradually turns cooler in autumn, you can reduce the frequency of watering appropriately, watering once every 2-3 days, but you need to make flexible adjustments based on regional differences.

4. Watering in winter

In the winter in the south, Dendrobium officinale can be watered every 3-5 days, while in the north where the winter climate is cold, it can be watered every 7-15 days.

What kind of water is good for Dendrobium candidum

It is best to water the plant Dendrobium officinale with rainwater, but rainwater is difficult to collect after all, so more people choose to water it with tap water. It would be better if you put it in the sun to dry before watering to remove the chlorine in it.
