Temperature: Dendrobium drumstick is suitable for environments with high temperature and high humidity. Ensure sufficient light, and the temperature at night is best kept at 13-16 degrees. Temperature differences will slow growth. Moisture: A large amount of water is needed, but do not accumulate water. Fertilization: During the growth period, apply compound liquid fertilizer once a week. Choose organic liquid fertilizer that is fully decomposed and diluted with enough water.

1. Temperature requirements

1. Temperature requirements

Dendrobium drumstick is suitable for environments with high temperature and high humidity. It is best to keep the temperature at night at a minimum of 13 degrees and a maximum of 16 degrees. If the temperature difference is large, the branches and leaves of Dendrobium will grow slowly. During the growth period, Dendrobium drumstick needs sufficient light, but in summer, the plant should be ventilated and protected from direct sunlight, and in winter, it should be placed in a sunny place. Even for plants that are in the dormant stage in winter, they must ensure that the temperature is not lower than 7 degrees and not higher than 10 degrees.

2. Water volume requirements

Drum Dendrobium requires enough water to maintain rapid growth, but this does not mean you can water it too much. Too much water in the soil can easily cause the roots of Dendrobium to rot. In sunny and dry weather, you need to spray some water to increase the air humidity. When Dendrobium drumstick is in its dormant period, it does not need humidification if the weather is dry. At this time, it needs a dry growth environment.

3. Fertilization

Growth During this period, we can apply compound liquid fertilizer to the plants once a week. The fertilizer concentration should be less than one thousandth. We can also choose organic liquid fertilizer that is fully decomposed and diluted with enough water. In winter, if the minimum temperature can be kept above 15 degrees, Dendrobium can grow normally, and it must be fertilized and watered regularly. If the temperature cannot be guaranteed, stop fertilizing, control the frequency of watering, and let the plants enter the dormant stage.

IV. Other matters needing attention

1) The inflorescences of Dendrobium droopensis droop when they bloom. To better highlight the beauty of the flowers, we can transplant the plant into a hanging pot. Potting or dividing the plant too many times will affect the number of Dendrobium flowering. It is recommended to wait until the pot is full before potting or dividing the plant.

2) The time to repot the Dendrobium drumstick should be in the spring when new branches and buds have not yet grown. It is best to choose a flower pot with some small holes on the pot wall. In order to facilitate the propagation of Dendrobium drumstick branches, you can do it at the same time as repotting, and be careful to cut off the rotten roots.
