In fact, Dendrobium is not very beautiful, and its conservation form is similar to that of orchids. So how should we conserve potted Dendrobium?
First, the choice of flower pots
Dendrobium has a strong root system, and flowerpots can be made of purple sand pots or pottery pots with good water permeability.
Rotten pine bark can be used as potting soil. Thick bark has a strong water-locking function, which can lock some water when watering, and excess water will not accumulate when it seeps out. Then add some large pieces of red jade soil to the pot soil, so that the roots can be imprisoned on it. Climbing on it has a better stabilizing effect, and the roots can grow well.
Second, lighting.
The original environment of Dendrobium is in a humid mountain forest. It belongs to the resurrected plant, attached to the tree. Therefore, it likes the environment with abundant scattered light or semi-cloudy. You can't directly expose yourself to strong light, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow and fall off easily.
Some friends will tie Dendrobium to a tree to simulate its original environment. Dendrobium grows well.
Third, moisture.
Dendrobium likes the environment with high air humidity, and its growth temperature is between 15-25 degrees. If you put Dendrobium in a humid environment as much as possible, spray it once a day to increase the humidity of the air.
Fourth, fertilization.
Dendrobium also needs fertilizer supplement during its growth. Because its roots are thick, it is necessary to use dilute nutrient solution. Liquid fertilizer can be supplemented two or three times a month. If the elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are complete, they can be sprayed on the leaves or watered according to the ratio of 1: 1000. You can put a little dried sheep dung or dried cow dung in the flowerpot to increase nutrition.
Dendrobium has a long flowering period and is not obvious. Some Dendrobium can even bloom continuously. Flowers are beautiful, too Moreover, there are many kinds of Dendrobium, and some Dendrobium flowers are really beautiful. I like them when I see them.
