How to water the newly potted Dendrobium? Can I soak the pot when watering?

1. How to water

1. Frequency: It is best to water the newly potted Dendrobium every day within a week to keep its soil moist. However, water cannot accumulate at the same time, so when watering, you should water according to the size of the plant and the permeability of the container.

2. Rooting: When the Dendrobium starts to grow new roots, you can wait until the soil is completely dry before watering, just follow the principle of watering when the soil is dry and watering when the soil is wet. If the temperature is relatively high in summer, try to water it once a day, but avoid watering at noon, otherwise the temperature in the pot will easily rise and affect the plant.

2. Can I use a soaking pot when watering?

You cannot use the soaking pot method to water Dendrobium. Although Dendrobium has a relatively large demand for water, it is also very afraid of waterlogging. The immersion pot method can easily result in excessive water and cause water accumulation, which is a big challenge to its root absorption capacity. This method is not advisable, especially when the plant is newly potted or in the process of growing new roots. Use a watering can to water it evenly. Put a new basin of water in the sun every day when watering, and dry it again after watering the next day.
