Loose and ventilated soil should be used for Dendrobium. Peat moss and charcoal can be mixed as its culture soil. At the same time, you can put some tiles on the bottom of the basin, which will make its roots grow better.

2. Humidity

Dendrobium prefers humid environment. When it is very hot, it needs to sprinkle some water around it. In this way, the air humidity will increase, and in rainy days, pay attention not to let the basin water.

3. Temperature

4. Light

It likes semi overcast environment. It should be shaded in spring and summer, and it should cover more, about 60% - 70%. But in winter, we still need to give it more light, which can not be covered. If we want to cover it, we can only cover 20% - 30%

5. Fertilization

It will be fertilized in the next year, twice a year. For the first time in April, it can use pig hair and bean dregs. After fermentation, it can be applied to the root to help the buds grow better. The second time was in November, using the same method of fertilization
