1. Maintenance methods

1. Pot soil: It has high demands on soil. It needs clean, sterile, breathable, soft and well-drained soil. Such soil requirements are difficult to find, but you can prepare your own. Use charcoal, moss, fern roots, dry bark, and stones, and mix them together in a ratio of 2:2:1:3:1.

3. Nutrients: Applying fertilizer is also a critical step. Excessive nutrients will affect growth, and insufficient nutrients will also affect growth. Therefore, we must pay attention to controlling the amount of fertilizer. Generally, liquid fertilizer can be used every 30 days or so.

4. Sunlight: Its demand for sunlight is not high. In order for it to grow better, it must be shaded during maintenance.

2. Breeding skills

2. Propagation: Dendrobium Huoshanensis is generally propagated by divisions. Choose strong and healthy mother plants that have been cultivated for more than three years for division. This makes it easier to succeed.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1 Black spot disease: Black spot disease is a common disease. At this time, all branches and leaves suffering from black spot disease should be pruned, and then sprayed with thiophanate wettable powder mixed with water.

2. Thrips: If thrips appear on Dendrobium Huoshanensis, phoxim emulsion mixed with water should be used for spraying. Just spray once every seven days until all thrips are killed.

IV. Other issues

1 . How to spend the winter: When winter comes, you need to move Dendrobium Huoshanensis indoors for cultivation. The temperature should be controlled between 10-15℃, and just pay attention to shade and ventilation.

2. Whether it can be placed indoors: Dendrobium Huoshanensis can be placed indoors. It has ornamental value and its beautiful colors are suitable for breeding.
