Dendrobium can be said to be a star Chinese herbal medicine in recent years, and it is very popular. However, the popularity has gradually declined in the past two years. Many flower lovers have also found that potted dendrobium is actually a good choice, and the flowers of dendrobium are very beautiful. Many friends who have just planted dendrobium potted plants do not know what kind of soil to use for planting dendrobium. Can soil be used to plant dendrobium orchids? Today, I will give you the answer. Soil requirements for Dendrobium orchid cultivationDendrobium belongs to the orchid family, and all orchids have a relatively obvious characteristic. They generally grow in relatively humid, semi-shady mountain forests. Dendrobium is no exception. Dendrobium is an epiphytic orchid, mostly growing in the mountains and forests in southern my country, and likes to grow on trees. It prefers a relatively humid, semi-shaded, warm climate. Dendrobium does not need soil to grow because it is epiphytic. Many friends have racked their brains to create a wild growth environment for Dendrobium. Some flower lovers have grown Dendrobium on wooden stakes and old trees, and the effect is quite good. What kind of planting material is used for Dendrobium?The substrate for planting Dendrobium should generally be soft, breathable, and well-drained. General planting materials can be peat blocks, pine bark, peanut shells, coconut skins, moss, sawdust, etc. Generally, a layer of larger stones is placed at the bottom of the flowerpot, because Dendrobium will grow aerial roots, which is convenient for the growth of aerial roots and maintains the air permeability and drainage of the flowerpot. Then you can choose a mixture of pine bark the size of a fingernail, small wood blocks, and leaf mold as the substrate . Can Dendrobium be planted in soil?Dendrobium cannot be planted in soil. Dendrobium itself has shallow roots and aerial roots, and requires a well-drained and breathable planting environment. The soil is too sticky, and the drainage and breathability cannot meet the requirements. Planting Dendrobium directly in soil can easily cause the roots to rot and die. |
