Dendrobium cutting method

Dendrobium cutting method

1. Cuttings processing

Choose healthy branches that are 1-2 years old, which should not be too old or too tender. Cut it into small sections, each with 2-3 buds and a few leaves. Then apply wood ash on both ends of the branches, or soak them in a solution of carbendazim. After taking it out, apply rooting powder on the bottom to accelerate the rooting of the cuttings.

2. Pot soil preparation

The growing conditions of Dendrobium are very harsh, but in order to ensure the survival of the cuttings, loose and breathable soil must be used. Using coconut bran soil or sawdust as the substrate, or using sphagnum moss, vermiculite, etc. for cuttings, also has a good survival rate.

3. Take cuttings

Insert the treated cuttings into the substrate. Different from many plant cuttings, the branches of Dendrobium should be inserted obliquely, with an angle of less than 30 degrees. Also, don't insert it too deep, just make sure it doesn't fall over. After insertion, make sure the bud point is facing upwards so that it is easier to take root and sprout.

4. Subsequent maintenance

After the Dendrobium is cut, water it thoroughly and place it in a cool and ventilated place. The environment should have a high humidity. In areas with a dry climate, you can spray water around it and then cover it with a plastic bag to keep it moist. The door should be opened and ventilated regularly every day to avoid various diseases caused by poor ventilation.
