Cultivation method of Dendrobium chrysotoxum

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It likes high temperature environment, and this habit can be easily seen from its distribution range. Therefore, the temperature between 25 and 35 degrees is more suitable. In addition, it is not cold-resistant, and it is safer for it to survive the winter at temperatures above 15 degrees. In addition, you should also pay attention to the temperature difference, which is better to be around ten degrees.

2. Light: It prefers semi-shady environment. During its growth period, there should not be too strong light, otherwise it will cause a series of uncomfortable reactions. However, in winter, the sunlight is not too strong and there is no need for shade.

3. Watering: Dendrobium chrysanthemum prefers an environment with high humidity. When the growth rate is faster, the substrate must be kept moist at all times. On sunny days when the temperature is high and relatively dry, you also need to spray some water in time.

4. Fertilization: Dendrobium chrysanthemum likes fertilizer. Generally speaking, it can be applied once a week. You can use fully diluted liquid fertilizer, but the concentration should not be too high.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: You can use the division method. When using this method, be careful to choose a large, strong, and dense plant as the mother plant. After the flowering period is over, you can reproduce. Take it out of the pot and tidy up the roots. From here, it can be divided into several sections. When planting, put some soil in first, then put the plant in, then fill the soil again, and compact it further.

2. Repotting: Try to do it once a year, or once every two years is also fine. You can also change the pot after the flowering period, which means that root propagation can be carried out at the same time. It can also be done directly in spring, when new buds have not yet grown. After repotting, place in a cool place.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: The main types of diseases include "anthracnose" and "powdery mildew", which can be treated with chlorothalonil, and the diseased leaves and other infected parts must be cut off in time.

2. Pests: mainly "red spiders" and "scale insects". They usually appear in groups and reproduce at a very fast rate, so they need to be sprayed with pesticides in time.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic and can be used as a medicinal material.

2. Can it be raised at home? It is quite suitable to be placed at home, where it can be used for viewing and to purify the surroundings, but it has high requirements for temperature.
