Is Dendrobium suitable for indoor cultivation?

Although Dendrobium is a semi-shade plant, it still needs very strong light during its growth process. It is difficult to achieve such strong light under indoor conditions. If we use ordinary fluorescent lamps for supplementary lighting, it will consume too much electricity. In addition, the indoor ventilation conditions will not be good.

Dendrobium indoor planting requirements

Dendrobium likes to survive in a warm, humid and cool environment and is more afraid of severe cold. Therefore, the substrate used for indoor Dendrobium can be mixed with 5 parts of broken tiles, 2 parts of decomposed manure , and 3 parts of bamboo garden mud .

When potting it, cover it with a layer of broken tiles and fill it with culture soil. Dendrobium should avoid direct sunlight. It should be placed in a ventilated and diffused light place for daily care and viewing. It should be exposed to sunlight in the morning in spring and autumn, and should be placed indoors in a sunny south-facing window during the winter.

The indoor temperature for Dendrobium cultivation should be maintained at 10-15 ℃ at night and 18-24℃ during the day . In autumn , a low temperature of about 10 ℃ is needed to promote the differentiation of flower buds, which is conducive to flowering next year.

After my explanation, I believe you already know this plant well. In fact, I personally think that although Dendrobium can be grown indoors, I think it is better not to grow it indoors .
