Grow Dendrobium orchids this way, and flowers and leaves will burst all over the branches

After Dendrobium orchids bloom, they are especially beautiful, but many people don't know how to care for them. Today, let's talk about how to care for Dendrobium orchids.

Substrate

For Dendrobium orchids, crushed fern roots, sphagnum moss, charcoal chips and other things are more suitable for them, while if soil is used to care for them, their roots are very likely to rot due to water accumulation. And even if water accumulation and root rot do not occur, they will still fail to grow for a long time, and the leaves will turn yellow and fall off.

So when caring for Dendrobium orchids, using a substrate with good drainage and air permeability is the most important thing. Crushed fern roots and sphagnum moss can be used as the main substrate for care.

Light

A diffused-light environment is most suitable for them. If the light is too strong, their stems will swell and take on a yellow appearance, and the leaves will also turn yellow-green.

Temperature

Between 18 and 30 degrees is their favorite temperature. During their growth period, 16 to 21 degrees is most suitable, while in the dormant period, 16 to 18 degrees is most suitable.

Water

Dendrobium orchids are afraid of water accumulation, but at the same time they also avoid dryness. During the period when they grow new roots, they need sufficient water, but when the environment they are in is too humid and happens to coincide with low temperatures, rot will occur.

Ventilation

Usually, be sure to open windows for ventilation and let the air at home circulate, otherwise pests and diseases are very likely to occur due to poor air circulation.
