3. Methods to Promote Flowering

Before placing dendrobium seedlings in pots, the roots need to be disinfected. You can go to the flower and bird market or farmer's market to buy disinfectant. Because there may be germs at the roots, if they are not disinfected, they will infect the root system and contaminate the soil. Seedlings generally do not bloom in the year they are planted, and will not bloom until at least the following spring. If you want it to bloom, you need more sunlight, water and fertilizer, and the maintenance temperature should not be too low.

1. Whether disinfection is needed

The roots of dendrobium seedlings need to be disinfected before potting. You can go to the flower and bird market or farmer's market to buy special disinfectant and disinfect it before potting. Because the purchased seedlings may have a lot of residual pathogens in their roots. If you don't pay attention to disinfection, the roots of the plants are likely to be infected after being potted, and the soil will also be polluted, which is very detrimental to the growth of the plants.

2. Flowering time

In After planting Dendrobium seedlings, they will basically not bloom that year. It takes a while to grow before blooming. Even in warmer weather, it will wait until the following spring to bloom. If it is not maintained well in normal times, the flowering time is likely to be extended, and there may even be no flowering at all.

3. Methods to promote flowering

1. Sunshine: When breeding, you need more sunlight. You cannot put it in a place with poor light all day long. Give it sufficient sunshine. If there is a lack of light, it will affect the differentiation of flower buds.

2. Temperature: If the temperature is relatively low, it is also very It is difficult to bloom. Usually the temperature needs to be adjusted between 15 and 28 degrees when blooming. If the maintenance temperature is too high or too low, it may not bloom.

3. Water and fertilizer: It should be replenished with water in time, usually keeping the soil slightly moist is enough. And add some nutrients to it, including an appropriate amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. In addition, the breeding environment must be well ventilated and cannot be maintained in an overly hot place.
