Dendrobium prefers a warm and humid environment. Because it grows on trees and stones, it mainly absorbs moisture in the air and has high requirements for air humidity. Therefore, the climate in the south is more suitable for its growth and easier to raise. The air in the north is relatively dry. If you want to keep it well, you need to maintain high humidity for a long time. You can spray more water every day to moisturize it. During the growth period and before flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied from time to time.

1. Is it easy to grow?

Dendrobium is suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment and requires sufficient water and high air humidity. However, it has very special requirements for the substrate and usually grows in bark, trunks and stone crevices. Due to its growth habit, it is mostly planted in the south, and maintenance in the north needs to provide better growing conditions.

1 2. Substrate selection: Dendrobium has special requirements for the substrate. It cannot grow in soil and needs to be configured with bark and sawdust. The bark is generally chosen from yellow oak tree, pear tree, camphor tree, etc. It can also be planted on stones, but the surface must be covered with moss.

2. Moderate light: The growth environment of Dendrobium should neither be too shady , and don’t be too exposed to the sun. Too much light can easily cause its leaves to burn and its stems to turn white, but lack of light is also not conducive to its growth. It can be shaded appropriately to allow it to receive a certain amount of astigmatism.

3. Humidity control: Dendrobium has high requirements for humidity. A dry environment is not good for its growth. The substrate must be kept moist at all times, and there must be moisture in the air. You can spray water regularly to increase the humidity, and watering should be frequent but not too much.

4. Reasonable fertilization: Dendrobium planted in the ground should not be fertilized too much More, twice a year is enough. For the first time during Qingming Festival, nitrogen fertilizer was mixed with animal manure and river mud was added. For the second time, around the beginning of winter, superphosphate was used to mix river mud. For potted plants, top-dressing should be done according to the growth of the plant. Generally, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be used before the flowering period.
