Dendrobium

Complete growing guide

Dendrobium is also called "resurrection grass". Whether it is the immortal herb that Lady White stole for Xu Xian in Legend of the White Snake is unknown, but it is indeed a medicinal herb. Not only that, its stems and flowers are also a specialty dish in many regions.

The stems can be stewed in soup, promoting body fluid, soothing the stomach, and clearing internal heat

Dendrobium flowers can be stir-fried with eggs, with color, aroma, and taste all present, and the key point is that they are healthy too~

Such a useful Dendrobium also has another name, "cannot die". It can be grown with just a few pieces of bark or wood. If you do not believe it, TheNaturePlanet will teach you step by step!

1. Prepare materials

Just find some larger pieces of bark or wood, or leftover scrap wooden boards from home renovations will also do. First, sun the wood for a few days or soak it for 20 minutes in a carbendazim solution to sterilize it

2. Tie on the Dendrobium

Let the sterilized wood dry, then soak it wet again, tie the Dendrobium stems to the wood, using cotton thread, plastic rope, or wire, all are fine

3. Make a lazy-person watering bottle

Dendrobium likes moisture, so it is best to make a lazy-person watering bottle beside it. You only need a plastic bottle, put water in it, add a long shoelace, and place the shoelace end on the wooden board. Remember that the plastic bottle should be above the wooden board so the water can be guided in

4. Daily care of Dendrobium

Dendrobium can now be grown in both the south and the north, but in northern winters it is best to place it indoors with heating. Usually avoid direct sunlight and mist more water to keep it moist

Besides growing it on bark or wooden boards as above, a tree stump also works. No need to dig it out, just tie the Dendrobium directly onto it, with the roots close to the wood. The stump can be placed directly in a water basin, which even saves you from watering

If the temperature and humidity are good, Dendrobium can bloom from May to September. The flowering period is super long and the flowers can be eaten too. With so many flowers, growing one plant is enough for a plate of food

Air plants

Complete growing guide

Air plants, which can live as long as there is air, are dismissed by many flower lovers, but they are actually very beautiful. Just place one on a piece of wood and its elegance instantly rises!

1. Tie to branches

You can pick up some sturdy branches, wipe them clean, and use wire to fix the air plant onto them. Is it not much prettier than a flowerpot or such? Moreover, it is ventilated and breathable. If you can still kill it, then TheNaturePlanet really admires you

It can also be placed at home as a decoration, more artistic than art

2. Wire frame

If you have quite a few air plants and they look a bit messy, then twist wire into a spiral funnel shape, and you can grow them together in a concentrated way

3. Daily care of air plants

Generally mist once every 5-7 days. It is best to make it a habit. Do not mist on cloudy and rainy days. It is best to mist in the evening. Since the temperature is high now, do it at around 7 to 9 PM
