A Detailed Guide to the Planting Methods and Key Technical Points for Dendrobium
Before planting Dendrobium, you must choose the growing medium well. Generally, bark and wood shavings are the best choice, and moss is even better if available. Then disinfect them. When spring arrives, divide the seedlings into several plants and plant them into pots, burying the roots with bark and wood shavings. Generally, planting 3-4 plants per pot is sufficient. After successful planting, keep the temperature at 15-28 degrees and the humidity at around 80%, then place it in a shady spot and it will grow healthily.
What are the precautions for planting Dendrobium?
1. Environment
Choose a semi-shaded, semi-sunny area for it, and the humidity in the air should be above 80 percent. If it is severe winter, create an environment above zero degrees for it.
2. Land
Choose land with small stones, preferably with moss growing on it. Leave a distance of 30 cm between each plant, with 5 cm of soil. Clear away the surrounding weeds and debris to increase light exposure for it.
3. Planting
You should plant it in spring during March or April, or in autumn during August or September. Actually, spring is even better than autumn. You can tuck it into crevices under shady rocks, or make some cuts in the hollows of tree branches, plant the Dendrobium in, and then fix it in place with soil. To prevent it from being blown by the wind or washed away by rain, you can tie it up with rope.
