When the moisture content of Dendrobium drops to about 30%-40 %, it needs to be watered. Generally, water the plants every 2-3 days in summer, and water them thoroughly each time; water the plants once every week in spring and autumn, and water them thoroughly each time; and water the plants every ten days in winter, and water them halfway each time. It is more suitable for a high humidity environment, preferably 60%-80% humidity, and the humidity must not be lower than 30%. Its potted plant requires a special Dendrobium substrate, and caregivers should not add potting soil on their own.

It should be maintained in a well-ventilated environment to ensure the oxygen content in the air.
