Cultivation method of Dendrobium densiflorum

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It likes to grow in cool places, and high temperatures should be reduced. It can generally grow normally between 15-28 degrees. The wintering temperature only needs to be kept above 8-10 degrees. Of course, the winter temperature cannot be lower than 0 degrees. If it is below 0 degrees, it will also face the risk of frostbite. It will not grow well in high temperature environment.

2. Watering: It needs sufficient water. The demand for water is the highest during the growth period. Water should be replenished almost every day. Sufficient water will ensure good growth. At the same time, the humidity in the air must also meet the standard. In summer, you can spray water mist around the plant. Don't make it too dry. In winter, you can reduce watering.

3. Light: Dendrobium dense-flowered prefers a semi-shaded environment and cannot accept strong light at all. A bright growing environment is enough. Therefore, when planting, do not choose a place with too much light. Just let it receive oblique light in the morning and evening.

4. Fertilization: Dendrobium densiflorum has a relatively high demand for foliar fertilizer. During the growth period, it is necessary to apply some foliar fertilizer to it from time to time to make the branches and leaves grow more vigorously. You can also add it once every 15 days. You can choose compound fertilizer.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Division is the main method. In spring, the roots of the plant are dug out and then divided into several parts for replanting. Before planting, the old roots can be pruned to increase the root growth ability.

2. Pruning: Prune it every spring, cut off some branches and leaves that grow too densely, cut off some old branches, grow new branches, and some diseased branches and leaves should also be pruned in time.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: The most likely disease is black spot, which will appear on newly grown branches and leaves. This disease will cause the leaves to fall off in a piece, so Bordeaux solution can be used to control and prevent it.

2. Pests: Snails will gnaw on the flower petals. They can be caught manually or killed with pesticides.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic and can be raised with confidence.

2. Can it be grown at home: Yes, its flower fragrance is charming. At the same time, when growing it at home, be careful not to place it directly on the balcony where it will be exposed to strong light.
