1. Can it bloom that year?

2. What to do if growth is slow

It is more difficult for Dendrobium seedlings to bloom in the current year, because the time for new seedlings to accumulate nutrients is very short, and the fastest will have to wait until the next year's growth period before they can bloom and bear fruit. In places like Xishuangbanna where the climate is spring-like, it can only bloom from March to June next year. Its slow growth is generally caused by insufficient nutrients, insufficient temperature, and root rot, and needs to be remedied in time according to the actual situation.

1. Can it bloom in the current year?

Dendrobium seedlings will not bloom in the current year, because it is a perennial plant. When the seedlings start to grow, the accumulation of nutrients is the fastest and requires a growth period. Even in areas with warm climates such as Xishuangbanna or Guangdong, they still need to bloom from March to June next year. This has a lot to do with our usual maintenance techniques and the varieties of dendrobium. Moreover, the temperature conditions for cultivating dendrobium in the north are simply unreachable. At the very least, it will not bloom until next year's growth period.

2. What to do if growth is slow

1. Increase nutrients: There are many reasons for the slow growth of dendrobium. Among them, insufficient nutrients are a common problem. Without sufficient nutrients, it is difficult for it to grow normally. It needs to be given sufficient nutrients.

2. Increase the temperature: The origin of Dendrobium is in the subtropical zone , the environment in which it originally grew was a high-temperature environment. If we usually grow dendrobium at home, it will grow slowly if the temperature is slightly low. Therefore, if you want to raise dendrobium well, it is also very important to give it a suitable growth temperature.

3. Check the roots: If it is a newly potted dendrobium, it is easy for the roots to be damaged, resulting in slow growth. If growth slows down for a long time, it is best to check whether the root system is rotten.
