The optimum growth temperature is 18~30℃, and the growth period is 16~2 1℃. The dormancy period is 16~ 18℃, the night temperature is 10~ 13℃, and the temperature difference is kept at 654438. The temperature over 30℃ in daytime has little effect on the growth of Dendrobium, and the temperature in winter is not lower than 10℃. Seedlings are easily frozen below 10℃.

Dendrobium should not be dry and afraid of water accumulation, especially when new buds begin to sprout and new roots form. But it is too humid, and it is easy to rot when it meets low temperature. When the weather is sunny and dry, in addition to watering, you should also spray more water on the ground to maintain a high air humidity. Dendrobium evergreen can keep enough water in winter, but Dendrobium deciduous can be properly aired to keep high air humidity.

Dendrobium is in the wild forest, but it still likes light in cultivation. Shading in summer and autumn is 50%, and shading in winter and spring is 30%. If the light is too strong, the stem will swell and turn yellow, and the leaves will be yellow-green. But there is plenty of sunshine, and there are many flowers in autumn.
