4. Temperature: Butterfly Dendrobium orchid likes high temperature and high humidity, and the suitable temperature is 18~35℃. In winter, the night temperature should be kept above 15℃, and the daytime temperature should be kept between 25-30℃. During the winter, deciduous varieties can survive in an environment below 10℃.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Sowing: When planting in a high-temperature greenhouse, you need a porous and breathable flower pot. In addition, there must be a well-ventilated and breathable substrate, and some tiles or broken bricks should be placed at the bottom of the pot to allow its roots to develop and grow well.

Root rot: If the butterfly Dendrobium has been planted for a long time, its branches, leaves and flowers will gradually grow larger and larger, and the soil in its flowerpot will also be slowly consumed. The roots of the plant will also become prone to rot, so it is necessary to repot to avoid root rot and death.

2. No flowering: If there is not enough light, it will be difficult for flower buds to differentiate, so the plant will not bloom. It is necessary to increase the light reasonably. When fertilizing, be careful not to apply concentrated fertilizer and to ventilate the plant frequently, which is beneficial for its flowering.
