How to water potted Dendrobium officinale? Never let it dry out too much

        Because Dendrobium officinale has certain medicinal value, many people like to grow some in pots. We will focus on how to water potted Dendrobium officinale. Dendrobium officinale generally grows in a semi-shady, humid environment, so when we grow it in pots, we should aim for this standard as much as possible.

 

        In addition, when watering Dendrobium officinale, we should take seasonal factors into account. In spring and autumn, water normally (the next paragraph explains how to water); in summer, water less and just keep the soil moist but not wet. In winter, it depends on the ambient temperature. For example, if there is heating, it can grow normally, and watering can be done as in spring and autumn. If there is no heating and it barely survives the winter, watering should be gradually reduced to avoid freezing damage caused by too much water content.

 

        Potted Dendrobium officinale grows in spring and autumn. We should keep the potting soil moist but not wet at all times, and it cannot be watered the way other plants are, waiting until the soil is dry before watering, because Dendrobium officinale depends heavily on water. It is best to water by the soaking method. In addition, we should often spray water on Dendrobium officinale to increase the surrounding air humidity.

 

        What needs to be said to gardening friends is that although Dendrobium officinale likes a semi-humid environment, never let water accumulate in the pot, so as to avoid root rot.

 

        In addition, Dendrobium officinale is not drought-tolerant, so never go a long time without watering. In daily care, place it in a shady or bright, indirect-light environment. If it has been acclimated well, it can also be kept in an environment with slightly better light conditions; it is not that it cannot see any light at all.
