Cultivation of Dendrobium should use soil with strong air permeability. It likes moist soil environment, but there should be no water in the soil, so the water permeability of the soil should also be good.The substrates that can be used are sphagnum, peanut shell, moss, wood chips, charcoal, wood blocks, gravel, coconut skin, pine bark and the like.No matter what kind of substrate is used, we should do a good job of disinfection in advance, to kill the harmful bacteria contained in it, otherwise Dendrobium is vulnerable to pests and diseases.
1. Time: The best time to plant Dendrobium is in spring and autumn.In winter, the temperature is low, it is better not to do it at this time, to ensure that the temperature is above 15 C when planting.
2. Branches: Find a relatively strong plant and cut a section of branches without pests and diseases from the top. The branches should not be too thin and weak, and the growth should be strong.After cutting, they are placed in carbendazim or potassium permanganate and soaked for about 5 minutes in order to avoid infection of pests and diseases.
3. Planting: Prepare suitable planting land. If it is potted, prepare flowerpots.After that, insert the branch into the substrate, press it with soil, spray it with a little water, and wait for it to grow roots slowly.
