First prepare soil that is soft, breathable, well-drained and rich in humus. You can prepare it yourself or purchase a special substrate. The plants must also be processed, cutting off old roots, yellow leaves, etc. After treatment, plant it directly into the soil, water it thoroughly in time, and maintain it in a warm, ventilated and cool environment. It will soon adapt to the new environment and resume growth. In addition, its propagation is mostly carried out by cutting and division methods.

1. Planting method

1. Planting method

1. Prepare the soil: Dendrobium has high requirements on soil. When planting, it is necessary to prepare suitable soil. It must be soft, breathable, strong in drainage and rich in soil. Only humus will do. Only in this soil environment can it grow more vigorously. Peanut shells, sawdust, moss, sphagnum moss, etc. can be mixed, or a special substrate for dendrobium can be purchased.

2. Plant treatment: Whether it is a purchased Dendrobium seedling or a Dendrobium seedling dug by yourself, it must be carefully treated before planting. Cut off the dry and yellow parts on it. If there are any rotten or dead roots, they must also be dealt with. This way Only later can they absorb fertilizer and water better, prompting growth to resume as soon as possible.

3. Planting in the soil: After the substrate is prepared and the plants are processed, they can be planted in the soil. First put part of the substrate in the flower pot, then put the plant in it, slowly fill it with soil and compact it. After planting, you need to water it in time to allow the root system and the substrate to be closely combined, so that it can resume normal growth as soon as possible. Note that it should be placed in a warm, well-ventilated and cool environment later.

2. Propagation method

1. Propagation by cutting: Choose May to June for cutting. Cut cuttings from strong three-year-old plants, choose plump stems, and each section has 4 to 5 small nodes. Just use pure river sand as the substrate. Directly insert the treated stems into the river sand and wait until the buds on the stems grow before transplanting.

2. Propagation by divisions: Divisions are also carried out in spring. Choose strong-growing dendrobium, cut off the biennial stems, remove the old roots, and then plant them directly separately. They can be planted against stones or planted on stones. Can be planted with trees.
