Growing Requirements for Dendrobium officinale: Soil and Ambient Temperature Are Key
Summary Soil requirements: choose peat, fern root, tree bark, etc. as the transplanting substrate. Temperature requirements: the suitable temperature for growth is 12-35°C. Light requirements: it is suitable for growing in a shady, damp, ventilated, semi-shaded and semi-sunny environment, and direct sunlight must be avoided in summer. Humidity requirements ⟦4 <p class="cintro"><span>Summary</span>Soil requirements: choose peat, fern root, tree bark, etc. as the transplanting substrate. Temperature requirements: the suitable temperature for growth is 12-35°C. Light requirements: it is suitable for growing in a shady, damp, ventilated, semi-shaded and semi-sunny environment, and direct sunlight must be avoided in summer. Humidity requirements: keep humidity above 60%. Watering frequency: water once a month in winter; water once every 2 weeks in spring and autumn; water once a week in summer. Water quality requirements: use neutral water or slightly acidic water.</p> <p></p> <p><strong>1. Soil requirements</strong></p><p>1. The main reason Dendrobium officinale cannot be planted in soil is that it has aerial roots and shallow roots, which means good air permeability is required. Generally, by imitating the growing environment of wild Dendrobium officinale, if stones are chosen as the substrate, air permeability will be better, but water retention will also be poorer.</p><p>2. It can be seen that a single substrate can hardly satisfy the conditions of both water retention and air permeability at the same time, so the substrate for artificially cultivating Dendrobium officinale should preferably be loose, breathable, not prone to mold, well-drained, free of pathogens, and free of hidden pests. During this period, peat, sphagnum moss, mountain stone, wood shavings, fern root, tree bark, board edges, mushroom bran, sawdust, etc. can be chosen as the transplanting substrate.</p><p></p><p><strong>2. Temperature requirements</strong></p><p>The survival temperature of Dendrobium officinale is -10°C, and the suitable temperature for growth is 12-35°C. When the temperature is relatively high in summer, shading and ventilation are needed inside the greenhouse, and frequent misting is needed to maintain moisture and lower the temperature. When the temperature is relatively low in winter, insulation is needed.</p><p></p><p><strong>3. Light requirements</strong></p><p>1. Dendrobium officinale is a semi-shade and moisture-loving plant. Wild Dendrobium officinale generally grows attached to rock cliffs at relatively high altitude, or on the bark of trees in humid environments, because these attachment hosts (rock, bark) themselves contain very little water, and some even contain no water at all (rock).</p><p>2. Dendrobium officinale is an aerial-root plant and mainly obtains nutrients by absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air. These factors all determine that Dendrobium officinale needs to be planted in a shady, damp, ventilated, semi-shaded and semi-sunny environment.</p><p>3. The native environment of Dendrobium officinale is always under tree shade and in shaded places, so the growing environment needs appropriate shading. When sunlight is strong, shade it to prevent direct sunlight, and a shade shed can be built.</p><p></p><p><strong>4. Humidity requirements</strong></p><p>During the growth of Dendrobium officinale, a hygrometer should be provided, and humidity can be kept above 60%. In overcast and rainy weather, when humidity is above 90%, ventilation needs to be strengthened to avoid the occurrence of bacterial and fungal diseases.</p><p></p><p><strong>5. Watering frequency</strong></p><p>In winter, water once every 1 month; in spring and autumn, water once every 2 weeks; in summer, water once every 1 week.</p><p></p><p><strong>6. Water quality requirements</strong></p><p>When watering, mist frequently and avoid drenching thoroughly too often. Usually, wait until the substrate is dry before drenching thoroughly. The water quality needs to be neutral water or slightly acidic water.</p><p></p><p><strong>7. Pest prevention</strong></p><p>Dendrobium officinale suffers relatively few pests and diseases. Generally, when good ventilation is maintained, no special pesticide control is needed. If pests occur, they need to be dealt with according to the specific situation.</p><p></p><p><strong>8. Fertilization requirements</strong></p><p>Fertilization requires applying thin fertilizer frequently, and heavy fertilizer must absolutely not be used, otherwise fertilizer damage is likely to occur.</p><p></p><p><strong>9. Ventilation requirements</strong></p><p>Ventilation and air circulation are also relatively important to the roots in the substrate, so it is recommended to choose materials with relatively good air permeability. Also, when watering, be sure to water thoroughly to bring fresh air into the substrate. Circulating air is very important to Dendrobium officinale, and at the same time it can also reduce the occurrence of diseases.</p>

What are the altitude requirements for growing Fengtang plums?
Summary: Fengtang plums need to be grown in areas below 1200 m in altitude. Reasonable close planting should be carried out according to the topography and landforms. In mountainous areas, hills, and relatively barren areas, it is recommended to plant at a density of 3-4 m between plants and 2-3 m between rows, while in plots with better soil and fertilizer, planting can be appropriately thinner. ⟦4 <p class="cintro"><span>Summary</span>Fengtang plums need to be grown in areas below 1200 m in altitude. Reasonable close planting should be carried out according to the topography and landforms. In mountainous areas, hills, and relatively barren areas, it is recommended to plant at a density of 3-4 m between plants and 2-3 m between rows, while in plots with better soil and fertilizer, planting can be appropriately thinner.</p> <p></p> <p><strong>I. Reasonable Close Planting</strong></p><p>1. Fengtang plums grow relatively fast and the trees are fairly vigorous, and they are generally planted in areas below 1200 m in altitude. The planting density can be reasonably determined according to the specific topography and landforms, soil fertility, and the requirements for early yield.</p><p>2. In mountainous areas, hills, and relatively barren areas, it is recommended to use 4 m between plants and 3 m between rows, and prune into a natural open-center shape. They can also be closely planted at 2 m between rows and 3 m between plants, pruning into a central-leader shape, so as to achieve early yield increases.</p><p>3. In areas with relatively good soil fertility, planting can be appropriately thinner, using 3 m between plants and 5 m between rows, and pruning into an open-center shape.</p><p></p><p><strong>II. Strengthen Water and Fertilizer Management</strong></p><p>1. Fengtang plum fruits are relatively large and have relatively high nutrient requirements. Generally, in autumn in October, sufficient base fertilizer needs to be applied, about 4000 kg of organic fertilizer per mu.</p><p>2. For weak trees, before flowering, one topdressing of decomposed human feces and urine or potassium sulfate type nitrogen-phosphorus compound fertilizer can be applied.</p><p>3. After the pit-hardening stage, about every half month, together with pest and disease control, foliar fertilizers such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed.</p><p>4. After harvest, one topdressing of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer needs to be applied in time, which helps restore tree vigor. At the same time, water according to soil moisture conditions. Especially during the bud break stage, fruit pit-hardening stage, and rapid expansion stage, sufficient water all needs to be provided.</p><p></p><p><strong>III. Flower and Fruit Management</strong></p><p>1. Improve fruit set rate: “Siyue plum” can be planted at a ratio of 8:1, with a flowering period similar to that of Fengtang plum and relatively strong pollen compatibility, and cross-pollination can be used to improve the fruit set rate.</p><p>2. Strict fruit thinning: After Fengtang plum enters the full bearing period and fruit set is good, strict fruit thinning can begin, with a reasonable load, as this is conducive to improving fruit quality and size.</p><p>3. Fruit thinning time: Generally, fruit thinning can be carried out in late April, when the distinction between large and small fruits is relatively obvious. Diseased and insect-damaged fruits, excess fruits, and deformed fruits should be removed. Flower cluster-type fruit branches and short fruit branches can retain 1 fruit, and middle and long fruit branches can retain 1 fruit every 4-5 cm.</p><p></p><p><strong>IV. Shoot Management</strong></p><p>Measures such as bending branches, pulling branches, girdling, pinching, twisting shoots, and using plant growth regulators such as paclobutrazol can effectively weaken tree vigor, prevent excessive growth of new shoots, balance vegetative and reproductive growth, and thereby promote flower bud differentiation.</p><p></p><p><strong>V. Later Stage Management</strong></p><p>1. Fengtang plum is relatively resistant to gummosis and bacterial shot hole disease. The occurrence of disease is relatively mild. After leaf fall and before bud break, 5-degree lime sulfur mixture can be sprayed to clean the orchard.</p><p>2. Aphids need to be controlled before and after flowering. Other pests and diseases can be treated reasonably with pesticides according to specific conditions.</p><p>3. Harvest is generally better at the firm-ripe stage, when the base color of the fruit skin changes from green to yellow and the taste is crisp and sweet.</p>
