Can Dendrobium be planted in the soil?

Dendrobium is not very suitable for planting in the soil because its roots are relatively shallow, so it does not grow well in the soil. However, if you must grow it in the soil, it is also possible. Generally, it should be planted in soil with water-retaining capacity so that the Dendrobium can absorb enough water.

Dendrobium has relatively high requirements for soil. Generally, it needs fertile, loose soil that can retain water and fertilizer to ensure the normal growth of Dendrobium. Be careful not to use too coarse soil as its water retention capacity is poor.

Dendrobium soil cultivation method

1. Select seeds

Before planting Dendrobium, you should choose seeds that are relatively healthy and have larger grains, so that you can ensure that Dendrobium can grow better after planting.

2. Germination of Dendrobium

Generally, it needs to be germinated before planting. Soak the seeds in warm water for about 12 hours and then they can be planted.

3. Planting Dendrobium

After the germination treatment, the seeds can be dried and then planted. Generally, they should be evenly sprinkled on the soil. After planting, water them more, and generally ensure that the soil is always moist.
