Do the roots of Dendrobium seedlings need to be disinfected when they are potted? When will they bloom?

1. Is disinfection necessary?

The roots of Dendrobium seedlings need to be disinfected before they are potted. You can go to the flower and bird market or the farmers' market to buy special disinfectant and disinfect it before potting. Because the seedlings you buy may have a lot of residual germs in the root system. If you do not pay attention to disinfection, they are likely to infect the plant roots after potting, and also pollute the soil, which is very detrimental to the growth of the plants.

2. Flowering time

After planting the Dendrobium seedlings, they basically do not bloom in the same year. It takes a while to grow before they can bloom. Even in warmer weather, it will not bloom until the following spring. If it is not properly maintained, the flowering time is likely to be prolonged, or even the plant may not bloom.

3. Methods to promote flowering

1. Sunlight: It needs more sunlight when growing. It cannot be placed in a place with poor light all day long. It must be given sufficient sunlight. If it lacks light, it will affect the differentiation of flower buds.

2. Temperature: If the temperature is relatively low, it will be difficult for it to bloom. Usually the temperature needs to be adjusted between 15 and 28 degrees during flowering. If the temperature is too high or too low, it may not bloom.

3. Water and fertilizer: It should be watered in time, usually just keep the soil slightly moist. And add some nutrients to it, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in appropriate amounts. In addition, the breeding environment must be well ventilated and should not be kept in an overly hot and stuffy place.
