2. Dendrobium is in its growing season in spring, so it needs to be provided with sufficient water and sheltered from rain during the rainy season. As for summer and winter, they are too hot or too cold, which are not suitable for the growth of Dendrobium. When the plant enters the pruning period, it needs to be watered only when the pot is dry. In winter, the temperature is low, there is not enough sunlight, and there is no wind. Even if it is not watered for a month, the Dendrobium will not be affected.
