How to raise dendrobium orchid, how to breed dendrobium orchid

Flower pots: The root system of Dendrobium orchid is very thick, and the flower pot can be used as much as possible with a purple sand pot or a clay pot with good water permeability. Potting soil: The planting substrate is good moss, and you can also use well-rotted pine bark

Watering: Dendrobium orchid watering can not have stagnant water, follow the principle of moist but not wet. Light: Dendrobium orchid likes light, but it needs to be shaded in summer and autumn, and cannot be directly exposed to the sun.

Dendrobium orchid generally refers to dendrobium. Dendrobium (scientific name: Dendrobium nobilelindl

It is an orchidaceae and a plant of the genus Dendrobium. Stems erect, fleshy and thick, slightly flattened cylindrical, 10-60 cm long, up to cm thick, with many knots, sometimes slightly swollen; The leaves are leathery, oblong, 6-11 cm long and 1-3 cm wide.

Dendrobium orchid maintenance should be semi-shaded, maintain a suitable temperature of 20 30, a small amount of watering is generally watered once a week, and to apply a thin foliar fertilizer in its vigorous period of 3 4 weeks, 2 years to change the pot of Dendrobium orchid loose soil, replace the new loose soil and replant, but also carry out branch propagation, so that it is vigorous.

Dendrobium orchid does not like light, it needs to be maintained in semi-shade, do a good job of shading, and keep its growth temperature at 20 28, so that the dendrobium orchid can grow rapidly, and it is best to increase the temperature difference between day and night in the growth environment of the dendrobium orchid, so that it can bloom better.

A small amount of watering is also the key to how to raise Dendrobium orchid, under normal circumstances, it can be watered once a week to supplement enough water to promote the growth of Dendrobium orchid. In the summer when the temperature is high, you can increase the frequency and amount of watering moderately, but in the rainy season, you should reduce watering and do a good job of drainage.

Dendrobium orchid grows vigorously and also needs reasonable fertilization for nutrient supplementation, generally fertilized once in about 3 4 weeks when it grows vigorously, mainly foliar fertilizer, or applied a solid fertilizer to it, you can choose to carry out it once in 2 March, and the fertilizer should not be too thick, so as not to burn the roots.

Dendrobium orchids that have been cultivated for about two years need to be repotted once, and the root system of the dendrobium orchid should be pruned after depotting, and replaced with new loose soil, which is the most suitable for the mixed soil of peat soil, charcoal and moss prepared in equal proportions, and crushed tiles can also be placed at the bottom of the pot to increase its drainage.

If you want to make the Dendrobium orchid grow better, you can also divide it into branches and propacate, and you can cut it with a knife when changing the pot, so that the Dendrobium orchid can be divided into new plants with about 3 or 4 small buds per plant, and then plant a number of new plants in the soil, keep it in a cool and ventilated place for 25 suitable temperature maintenance, and wait for it to take root.

Dendrobium orchid cultivation method:

1. Configure soil:

To raise dendrobium orchids, use loose and breathable soil. Peat moss and charcoal can be mixed as its culture soil.

3. Temperature: It is best to keep the temperature at 15-28.

4. Light: Dendrobium orchid prefers a semi-shady environment, and it should be shaded in spring and summer.

5. Fertilization: In the second year, you should start fertilizing it, twice a year, the first time in April, you can use pig edamame dregs, etc., after fermentation, apply it to the roots to help the young shoots grow better. The second application is done in November using the same method.

First, the breeding method.

1. Soil. To raise dendrobium orchids, use loose and breathable soil. Peat moss and charcoal can be mixed as its culture soil. At the same time, you can put some tiles at the bottom of the pot, which will allow its roots to develop better.

2. Humidity. Dendrobium orchids prefer a humid environment, and when it is particularly hot, you need to sprinkle some water around it. In this way, the air humidity will increase, and if it rains, be careful not to let water accumulate in the basin.

3. Temperature. It likes to be warm, it is best to keep the temperature at 15-28, and the temperature difference between day and night should be relatively large, because if the temperature difference is very small, its growth and flowering will be affected.

4. Illumination. It prefers a semi-shady environment, and it should be shaded in spring and summer, and it should be shaded more, about 60%-70%. But in winter, you still have to give it more light, you can not shade it, if you want to shade it, only 20%-30%.

5. Fertilization. In the second year, you should start fertilizing it, twice a year, the first time in April, you can use pig edamame dregs, etc., and then apply it to the roots after fermentation to help the young shoots grow better. The second time was in November, using the same method of fertilization.

2. Precautions.

1. Watering. You should water more in spring and summer, and less water after September.

2. Prune. Pay attention to observation and cut off old branches, sick and weak branches and too dense branches in time.

3. Change the pot. In two or three years, it will be repotted to give it better growing conditions.

Dendrobium orchids need to be placed in a well-lit place, but avoid direct sunlight. For example, it can be placed under the windowsill or on the coffee table in the living room. The optimum growing temperature is between 15-30 degrees Celsius, preferably no more than 35 degrees Celsius and no lower than 5 degrees Celsius.

When the moisture level of the dendrobium orchid drops to about 3-4 percent, it needs to be watered. Generally, water every 2-3 days in summer, and water thoroughly every time; In spring and autumn, it needs to be watered every other week, and each time it is watered thoroughly; When it comes to winter, it is necessary to water every ten days, and each watering is semi-permeable. It is more suitable for high humidity environment, preferably 60%-80% humidity, and its humidity must not be lower than 30%.

The potted plants require a special dendrobium substrate, and conservationists should not add potting soil by themselves.

Fertilization according to its own growth conditions, when the growth of stems and leaves of Dendrobium orchid is weak, it is necessary to add nutrient solution to mix with water, the ratio of water to water is 1:1000, that is, after mixing half a liter of water per gram, the leaf surface can be wet, and there is no need to wet its substrate. It should be maintained in a well-ventilated environment to ensure the oxygen content in the air.

Competitive plants such as weeds, mosses and other plants should be removed from the potting soil of Dendrobium orchid. And pay attention to all kinds of insects, rats and other diseases. <

Cultivation method of Dendrobium orchid:

Stone planting: wrap the roots of Dendrobium orchid with a layer of fertilizer, put it in the crack of the stone, if there is debris in the crack of the stone, clean it up in advance, and fix it with a rope after placing it.

Sticking to the tree: Cut a crack in the trunk with a knife, put the dendrobium orchid into the crack and return to the morning to fix it. The new roots of the dendrobium orchid will grow along the body of the tree, and the dry and decaying tree cannot be used to grow the dendrobium orchid.

Shade planting: Build a small shade shed and hang a curtain on the sunny side to facilitate shading in summer. In the shade shed, use small gravel mixed with fine sand to make a high stem, and plant the dendrobium orchid seedlings in it.

Precautions for cultivating dendrobium orchids.

1. Light. Wild dendrobium orchids generally grow in the shade or in the shade of trees, so pay attention to shading when planting artificially.

2. Temperature. Dendrobium orchid enters a dormant state when the temperature is less than 5, and then it does not grow, and the dendrobium orchid plant is prone to frostbite when the temperature is lower than zero, and it is necessary to pay attention to the insulation of the Dendrobium orchid plant after entering the winter. In summer, the temperature is too high, and the growth temperature of Dendrobium orchid is between 25-30.

3. Fertilization. Dendrobium orchid began to be fertilized in the second year after planting, applying well-rotted farmhouse fertilizer, seven points of water and three points of fertilizer, and the principle of thin fertilizer and frequent application. The ratio of phosphorus and potassium is increased during the flowering period.

Stop fertilizing when new leaves grow at the tip of the plant, otherwise the flowering quality will be affected. When the Dendrobium flowers bloom, they will enter a dormant period and fertilization should be stopped until new shoots appear. Demolition of sheds.

The cultivation method of Dendrobium orchid is full watering, suitable light, and proper ventilation.

1. Water thoroughly.

Dendrobium orchid prefers a growing environment with sufficient moisture, and should do a good job of replenishing water during the breeding period, but the soil should not be too moist, and there can be no stagnant water. Spring and autumn have a stable climate and can be watered once a week, while high temperatures in summer will make water evaporate faster, and the frequency of watering can be adjusted to once every 2-3 days.

2. The light is suitable.

It is more suitable for growing in semi-shady places, do not let it receive direct light, and should be shaded when the sun is strong. It is best to block 50% of the light in summer and autumn, and about 30% at noon in spring. Pure Piper should have more light before and during the flowering period, which will make it bloom more abundantly.

3. Suitable for ventilation.

In the process of breeding, it should be put in a ventilated place as much as possible, and only the air circulation of the breeding environment can prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases, and it is also beneficial to the growth of plants. If you keep it indoors, you should open more windows or move it outdoors more often.

Methods of reproduction

Dendrobium mainly adopts the method of propagation by dividing plants, which is generally carried out in spring, because of the high humidity and rainfall in spring, the planting is easy to survive. Choose robust, pest-free dendrobium, cut off more than 3-year-old stems for medicinal purposes, and two-year-old new stems for propagation. When propagating, subtract the elder roots, leave 2-3 cm, separate the seeds, contain 2-3 stems per gram, and then cultivate, you can take the method of sticking stones and sticking trees.

On the selected stones, dig out the holes according to the plant spacing of 30 cm, and apply a thin layer of cow dung mixed with thin mud to stuff the stone holes or stone troughs into the stone holes or stone troughs at the seed roots, and strive to stabilize and prevent them from falling off, and the small stones can be plugged and fixed. On the selected tree, cut off a part of the bark on the tree according to 30-40 cm, apply a thin layer of cow dung and mud mixture, and then stuff it into the broken bark or the longitudinal crack of the tree, stick to the bark, and then cover it with a layer of straw and tie it with bamboo stickers.
