Growth conditions of Dendrobium candidum
Dendrobium candidum likes humid and cool environment, and the suitable growth temperature is 15 to 28 degrees. It has high requirements for soil and is suitable for growing in loose, breathable and well-drained soil. Dendrobium candidum is not resistant to strong light and is suitable for growth in strong light and astigmatism. Water it in time when planting.
How to raise Dendrobium candidum
Dendrobium candidum can't be maintained under strong light. It's best to put it in a semi-shady place or a window sill with a sunshade net, and choose the morning and evening when the sun is not strong. In winter, the illumination time can be appropriately increased, which can not only increase the surface temperature, but also be beneficial to growth.
Dendrobium candidum watering
Dendrobium candidum likes humid environment. Water once every 2-3 days in spring and autumn. In summer, water evaporates quickly, so you can water it every day. When the temperature is low in winter, plants stop growing and do not need too much watering, which can keep the soil moist and not dry.
Fertilization of Dendrobium candidum
Dendrobium candidum can't be fertilized under high temperature and strong light. It is best to adjust the fertilization time according to the changes of season, weather and climate. Thin fertilizer can be applied once a week during the vigorous growth period, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution and potassium dihydrogen phosphate plus urea solution can be selected to make the fertilizer coverage fully uniform.
Control of Dendrobium candidum pests and diseases
Dendrobium candidum is easy to be infected with soft rot and black spot in high temperature, high humidity and poor ventilation. It can be prevented by spraying chemicals on plants in advance. If plants are unfortunately infected with soft rot, they can be treated by spraying carbendazim solution. When black spot disease occurs, thiophanate-methyl solution can be sprayed, usually 2 ~ 3 times.
Family rearing method of Dendrobium candidum
Dendrobium candidum needs a well-drained substrate. It should be planted in rough soil. It shouldn't be placed in strong light. You can see it in semi-shady places or places with sunshade nets. When watering at ordinary times, water every 2-3 days and fertilize every 7- 10 days. Pay attention to applying thin fertilizer frequently and cutting propagation at home.
Matters needing attention in the maintenance of Dendrobium candidum
Dendrobium candidum has low requirements on soil, so sawdust and broken bark can be used instead of soil as matrix. Of course, it is best to plant and cultivate mixed substrates, such as universal soil, rotten leaf soil, peanut shells or sawdust, which can not only ensure the porosity, air permeability and water permeability of potted soil, but also play a certain role in water retention and moisture retention.
