The Latest Dendrobium Planting Techniques and Methods Tutorial
Dendrobium is a very traditional Chinese medicinal herb in our country, with the rhizome being the main medicinal part; it is a medicinal plant. Dendrobium has relatively high medicinal value, such as quenching thirst and stimulating appetite, treating deficiency heat, and a series of other effects, combining ornamental and medicinal uses in one. Now in our country, the area planted with Dendrobium is growing larger and larger, and the demand for Dendrobium is also gradually rising. So how should Dendrobium be planted? Today, the editor brings you the planting techniques for Dendrobium, let's take a look!
1. Site selection and land preparation
When choosing the planting site, it should be determined according to the environment needed for Dendrobium growth; Dendrobium likes to grow in an environment with even light, stable temperature, and relatively high humidity. It is necessary to ensure that the winter temperature will not fall below zero degrees; of course, the surrounding environment can also be controlled artificially, as long as Dendrobium is kept in a suitable growing environment. When planting, there should be tall trees such as pear trees around to provide shade for Dendrobium; the soil should be plowed and disinfected to reduce pathogens in the soil and lower the incidence of disease during Dendrobium growth.
2. Proper propagation
The main propagation method for Dendrobium is division propagation, usually around the Beginning of Spring. Because there is more rainy weather in spring, moisture is relatively abundant, which is more suitable for Dendrobium growth, and its survival rate will also be relatively high. Then choose good, high-quality Dendrobium seeds, which must not have disease; cut off the old stems and use new stems for cultivation. Before propagation, ensure the stem seeds are healthy, and to be safe, do a good job of disinfection. Mix the stem seeds with farmyard manure and then insert them into the planting holes; as long as they do not fall off, that is enough.
3. Field management
After successful planting, management should be done well. The management of Dendrobium is very important; poor management will lead to abnormal growth of Dendrobium and produce many different problems. During Dendrobium growth, the soil should be kept moist, but air humidity should not be too high; when watering, small-droplet drip irrigation or sprinkler irrigation can be used. Pay attention to soil fertility and the growth progress of Dendrobium, and apply topdressing in time to ensure that Dendrobium has sufficient nutrients during growth. Prune appropriately according to the tree shape of the plant and the growth of branches and leaves, improve field ventilation and light penetration, and promote the growth and development of Dendrobium.
4. Disease control
Disease control is the most important part of the Dendrobium planting process, because Dendrobium may develop disease at any growth stage, and there are many different types of diseases. They can also cause varying degrees of harm to Dendrobium, and different parts of Dendrobium will have different diseases. Therefore, everyone must strengthen field management, remove diseased and disabled plants in time, disinfect the field regularly, reduce the number of pathogens in the field, and control the incidence of disease. Maximize the economic benefits of your own planting and avoid unnecessary losses.
The above is a brief introduction to Dendrobium planting techniques. The prospects for planting Dendrobium are very good, but before planting, everyone should still make preparations and carefully consider whether they are suitable for planting.
