2. Whether it is possible to spend the winter outdoors

Dendrobium should be cultivated using a breathable and drainage substrate, such as moss, small stones, wood chips, etc. The maintenance environment should be humid, with air humidity above 60%. The substrate should not be too dry and should be kept moist. It likes astigmatism, so it needs to be shaded when the sun is strong, and the temperature is best adjusted to between 15-30°C. If the outdoor temperature in winter is above 5℃, you can spend the winter outdoors. Otherwise, you have to go indoors or take measures to keep warm.

1. Cultivation method

1. Substrate: The substrate for cultivating Dendrobium must have good air permeability and strong drainage. Generally, pine bark, moss, small stones, Plant materials such as sawdust and fern root fragments.

2. Moisture: It likes a humid growth environment. Spray water on it frequently. The humidity of the air should be above 60%, but not higher than 90%. If the air humidity is high, bacteria can easily breed. It is enough to keep the substrate moist at ordinary times, but there should be no water stains.

3. Light: Dendrobium likes a growing environment with astigmatism. During the breeding period, different degrees of shading should be carried out according to the situation to ensure sufficient scattered light. The sunshine in summer and early autumn will be very strong, so you must not expose it to the sun at this time, as it will burn its leaves.

4. Temperature: The maintenance temperature should be adjusted to a suitable range, which is between 15-30℃. It should not exceed 35℃ when the temperature is high, and it should not be lower than 5℃ when the temperature is low.

2. Whether it can survive the winter outdoors

If the outdoor temperature is above 5℃, it can spend the winter outdoors. If the temperature is relatively low, it may suffer frostbite. Generally, after winter comes, you have to move indoors or take certain measures to keep warm.
