Many flower lovers make it into potted plants and keep it at home, so how to maintain it?
Environment: Dendrobium likes to grow in a warm, humid, semi-cloudy and semi-sunny environment and needs high air humidity. When the temperature is low in autumn and winter, people will go into hibernation. Usually it can be planted in the shade of trees.
Watering: The humidity of the home environment is not enough, so it needs to be watered frequently to moisturize, or it can be sprayed to the surrounding environment with a sprayer to increase the air humidity.
Soil: there is no requirement for soil, and it grows on thick bark or trunk in the wild.
Pruning: Because potted plants pay more attention to plant types, dry stems, weak stems and diseased stems are cut off every spring. Conducive to the growth of new buds.
Dendrobium, as a green plant in Orchidaceae, not only has good ornamental value, but also has good use value. And there are many kinds of Dendrobium, especially Dendrobium candidum. With the development of horticulture, Dendrobium has become a very fashionable potted plant in the flower market. Let's share the conservation methods of Dendrobium potted plants today.
If you have seen Dendrobium in the wild, you will find that this species is mostly epiphytic in tree trunks or crevices, especially in wet forests. Therefore, when we cultivate Dendrobium, the environment tends to the wild environment as much as possible, such as the cultivation substrate, which can be planted with rotten bark or maintained with water moss.
Because Dendrobium prefers scattered light, we breed at home, preferably on the balcony or window facing north, but before flowering, we can move it to some places with direct light but not strong, so that the flowers will be fuller; Dendrobium can't tolerate low temperature, especially after winter, the room temperature should be controlled above 10 degree before it can continue to grow.
Dendrobium likes a relatively humid environment. Not only the substrate needs to be moist, but also it should be watered as often as the leaves and surroundings, but it must not let the substrate accumulate water, otherwise the fleshy roots will rot. Dendrobium is barren-tolerant, and if it wants to grow better, it is best to apply sheep manure or organic fertilizer every two months or so.
Dendrobium has strong meristematic ability. With the growth of plants, every 1-2 years, we need to turn over the pots and change the soil for it. It is best to choose spring with strong growth ability. If the plant grows too luxuriantly, it needs to be divided into plants in time so that Dendrobium will grow better.
