1. Can sprouts be eaten?

Fresh Dendrobium can generally be stored for 2-6 months. It can be eaten after germination, because those are the flower buds and leaf buds that grow out of it. After growing out, they will not produce any toxins and have no effect on the human body. Only the nutritional value is reduced. However, it has been stored for too long and it is not recommended to be eaten raw. It can be eaten after being processed at high temperature. However, if you find that the fresh strips are rotten or moldy, do not eat them, because after they rot, they will produce carcinogenic nitrites and some molds, which are toxic and can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and food poisoning.

In addition to being eaten, the grown leaf buds can also be made into potted plants through cuttings. The time period is April to August when conditions are most suitable. First prepare the cultivation medium. You can use ordinary loam mixed with sand. It needs to be loose and nutritious. Break off the leaf buds. If branches have grown, you can cut them into the flowerpot together with the branches. After the cuttings are inserted, pay attention to the maintenance conditions and spray water regularly to ensure moisture replenishment.
