Dendrobium is a green medicinal material with high nutritional value. It can be used as medicine or as an ornamental plant. When dendrobium blooms, it is not only very beautiful, but also has a strong fragrance. Many florists have it planted in their homes. But it is not easy to grow dendrobium at home. You must master the correct management methods. Let’s introduce it in detail below.
1. Fertilization
To fertilize dendrobium, you can apply compound fertilizer, just sprinkle a few grains into the soil. If you want to make it more convenient, you can also add homemade fat cake water or fermented rice water. It should be noted that it must be diluted with water before application to avoid fertilizer damage caused by excessive concentration. The fertilization time is generally selected in the evening.
2. Light
Dendrobium prefers shade, so light is essential during its growth. When growing at home, place dendrobium in a sunny location. However, in summer, when the light is too strong, it must be shaded, otherwise the dendrobium leaves will be easily burned, which will affect its growth.
3. Temperature and humidity
Dendrobium loves temperature. When planting, the surrounding temperature should be controlled between 20 and 25°C. Too high a temperature will hinder the growth of dendrobium, and too low a temperature will hinder the growth of dendrobium. Stop growing. In addition, Dendrobium also likes moisture and has high requirements for air humidity. Generally speaking, the humidity of the environment around dendrobium should be controlled at about 80%. Such conditions are conducive to the growth of dendrobium.
