How to grow Dendrobium

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: It is best to use soil with good air permeability and drainage.

2. Ventilation: Air circulation can prevent the occurrence of diseases. Water thoroughly to bring fresh air into the soil.

3. Temperature: The suitable temperature for its growth is 15-28℃. When the temperature is lower than 5℃ or higher than 35℃, it will enter a dormant state and stop growing.

4. Fertilization: You can use compound fertilizer for fertilization. Apply it in small amounts frequently and don’t apply too much, otherwise it will cause fertilizer damage.

2. Breeding Methods

Cutting propagation: Use non-flowering and relatively healthy branches, cut them into sections with 2-3 nodes, apply wood ash on the cuts, and insert them into the soil. Place it in a semi-shaded environment, without watering it for a week, and new plants will grow after 1-2 months.

3. Common diseases

1. Anthracnose: It mostly occurs on the leaves and many spots will appear. Once discovered, the affected leaves should be cut off in time to avoid harming healthy parts, and then spray with carbendazim solution.

2. Yellow spot disease: After the disease occurs, yellow spots will appear on the leaves, and black mold will appear on the spots. Use chlorothalonil powder to prevent and control the disease.
