How to grow Japanese ink-splashed dendrobium? Is it sun-resistant?

1. How to raise

1. Planting material: When growing Japanese ink-splashed Dendrobium, you cannot directly use the culture soil in the general sense. Instead, you must use planting material mixed with materials such as bark, gravel, pebbles, expanded clay, and pine needles.

2. Temperature: It likes a relatively warm environment. It is recommended to control the temperature at around 20℃ during breeding. If the temperature is very low, it may not grow well. So in winter, be sure to keep it warm. It is best to grow it in a greenhouse.

3. Watering: It likes moisture very much. Once there is a lack of water in the planting material, it will grow poorly. So when raising it, it is recommended to water it every 2-3 days. If the air humidity is very low, you should spray it with water in time to maintain the humidity of the environment.

4. Fertilization: It also likes fertilizer, so it is advisable to fertilize it every month during maintenance. Long-term lack of fertilizer will cause it to lack nutrients and turn yellow. It is advisable to choose liquid fertilizer because it is more suitable for plants to absorb.

2. Is it sun-resistant?

It is a plant that prefers semi-shady environment and is not tolerant to sunlight. Under normal circumstances, it should be exposed to scattered light and not direct light. If it is exposed to strong sunlight for a long time, its leaves will turn yellow, develop yellow spots, or even wither completely. When the light is very strong in summer, you need to use a shade net to shade it to prevent it from being burned by the strong light.
