How to grow Dendrobium in summer

1. Block out the sun

Dendrobium cannot withstand exposure to the sun. In summer, the weather is relatively hot and the intensity of sunlight is relatively strong. Shade measures must be taken to avoid keeping it outdoors under the scorching sun. It can be placed indoors where it can be exposed to a certain amount of sunlight while avoiding strong direct sunlight. If you want to place it outdoors, you can move it to the shade of a big tree, or directly build a pergola to cool off.

2. Water in time

Dendrobium itself likes a humid growing environment. Water evaporates quickly in summer, so it needs timely replenishment of water, more than usual, and make sure to water it thoroughly when watering. Be careful not to water at noon, because the temperature is relatively high at this time. After watering, direct sunlight will cause the temperature to rise, causing the roots to begin to rot. You can choose to water in the morning or evening.

3. Spray water to cool down

It cannot withstand high temperature climates, so you can spray water on it regularly to lower the temperature by evaporating the water. It can also create a moist growing environment, which is conducive to its growth.

4. Improve ventilation

In addition to spraying water mist, if it is kept indoors, it is also necessary to increase ventilation, open windows more often to let in air, and lower the temperature.
