How to care for Dendrobium in winter

Is Dendrobium afraid of freezing?

The suitable temperature for Dendrobium's general growth is between 20 and 30 degrees, and during the growing season, its suitable growth temperature is between 15-20 degrees. Dendrobium is not cold-resistant and is afraid of freezing, so anti-cold measures should be taken in winter.

Therefore, Dendrobium is not very cold-resistant. If you want to prevent it from being frozen to death in winter, it is best to move it indoors for maintenance and keep the indoor temperature within a suitable range so that it will not be frozen to death.

How to care for Dendrobium in winter

Temperature : It is best to move Dendrobium indoors for maintenance in winter, and keep the room temperature above 10 degrees. It should also be placed in a brighter place, preferably with sunlight, but be careful not to place it near a stove or heater.

Watering : The temperature is lower in winter, and Dendrobium does not require much water, so it should not be watered too much. It can be watered once every 2 to 3 days. Water accumulation should not occur, but it needs to be watered enough and thoroughly at one time.

Sunbathing : Dendrobium can be exposed to the sun in winter. The plant also needs proper light to grow in winter. Exposing the plant to the sun properly can increase the temperature and help the plant survive the winter.

Maintenance in the north : It is very cold outside in the north in winter, so the Dendrobium should be moved indoors for maintenance. It should be placed in a well-lit location indoors. Most areas have floor heating, so do not place it directly on the heater. Also, water it less frequently and do not allow water to accumulate.

Precautions for cultivating Dendrobium in winter

1. In the cultivation process of Dendrobium in winter, anti-freeze measures need to be taken. If it is potted, it is best to move it indoors. If it is outdoors, once the temperature drops below zero, it must be covered and kept warm to prevent the Dendrobium from freezing to death.

2. If you want to grow Dendrobium indoors more vigorously in winter, you should move it indoors for maintenance when the temperature drops below 10 degrees. Make sure its temperature is above 10 degrees. Give it sufficient space for exposure and do not keep it in a shaded environment for a long time.

3. In addition, because the growth of Dendrobium becomes slow in winter, it is necessary to reduce the water supply to avoid root rot of the plant. You can add some fertilizer appropriately to help the plant grow more vigorously.
