Cultivation methods and precautions of Dendrobium officinale

Habits

First of all, the temperature. It likes a warm environment. Generally, no special attention is required in spring, summer and autumn. In winter, you need to pay attention to the temperature for safe wintering. In addition, it has a relatively high demand for water, and the air humidity must also be guaranteed. There is also fertilization, which is necessary at certain times. There are also operations such as selecting pots and pruning.

Specific methods

Temperature: Let’s talk about the winter temperature first. Generally speaking, the temperature should be maintained between eight and ten degrees Celsius. In other periods, if the temperature is not too low, basically no attention is required.

Water: First, don’t water it when you plant it. When the plant is growing and developing rapidly, because it requires more water, you can water it more often, once a day. In winter, this plant will enter a dormant period, so there is no need to continue watering it. In addition, if the evaporation is very strong, we can also spray water all around to ensure that the air humidity is around 70 to 80 percent.

Fertilization: You can use some nutrient solution as foliar fertilizer, which can help it take root and sprout.

Choosing a pot: This is also very particular. You can choose a pot with holes on all sides and made of plastic or ceramic. The size should also be considered.

Pruning: Around spring every year, we need to remove the diseased branches, weak branches and branches that affect the overall shape of the plant.

Precautions

The higher the humidity is, the better it is. If the temperature is very high in summer and the humidity is also very high, it will easily cause soft rot, so you have to pay attention.
