3. Precautions

The repotting seasons for dendrobium are spring and autumn. Repotting at this time will have little impact on its growth. Do not repot during the budding, flowering and fruiting stages, nor during the seedling slowing period. Before changing the pot, prepare a large flower pot, add some base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot, and put some clean gravel at the bottom of the pot for better drainage.

1. Repotting Season

Repotting dendrobium can be done in spring or autumn. Repotting it at this time will have little impact on its normal growth. Do not change pots during the budding, flowering and fruiting stages, as this will affect its growth and may cause the flowering period to be missed. If the plant is in the seedling slowing stage, it cannot be repotted, because it may cause further damage to its roots, and it will take longer to slow the seedlings. If the repotting time is not appropriate, the plant may not return to normal growth.

2. Whether to add base fertilizer

When repotting it, you can add some base fertilizer to the pot. However, its requirements for soil and fertilizer are not high, usually as long as there are no impurities in the soil. Because if there are pathogenic bacteria in the soil, it will damage the root system of the plant, which will be very detrimental to the growth of the seedlings after repotting.

3. Precautions

1 , Be careful when potting, and try not to damage its root system. When potting, place it in the middle of the pot without damaging the roots and new shoots.

2. Before changing the pot, you need to prepare a flower pot with a large diameter and ventilation holes in advance. You cannot use plastic pots to grow dendrobium. You can also add some drainage material, such as clean gravel, to the bottom of the pot before placing it in the pot.
