What to do after the Dendrobium has finished blooming

1. Timely pruning

After it finishes blooming, you should first cut off the withered flowers and not leave them on the plant to affect its appearance. It is also necessary to prune the branches and leaves appropriately, observe the condition of the entire plant, cut off the overgrown branches to prevent excessive consumption of nutrients for growth, which will be beneficial to flowering next year, promote the germination of side branches, and improve lighting conditions.

2. Add fertilizer

Because the blooming of flowers consumes a lot of nutrients, if they are not replenished in time, the plants may find it difficult to continue growing. Therefore, additional fertilizers should be added after the flowers have bloomed. The type of fertilizer should be a compound fertilizer with a mixture of various elements. However, the fertilizer concentration should not be too high. Applying concentrated fertilizers will cause the plants to burn their roots and will not be able to absorb nutrients. You can dilute it with water and apply it once every half a month.

3. Correct placement

After the plant finishes blooming, it needs to be placed in a place with diffused light and good air circulation so that it can be exposed to fresh air, which is conducive to the later development of flower buds. If it is placed in a dark and unventilated place, it will have a bad effect.

4. Maintain humidity

The surrounding humidity must also be maintained. It cannot grow in a dry place. If the surrounding is too dry, you can spray water around the plant to increase the humidity.
