How many months to take cuttings of Dendrobium

1. Cutting time

Dendrobium cuttings are generally taken between April and May and September and October each year, when the temperature is suitable and the environment is comfortable, which is more conducive to survival. In addition, the environment at this time is also beneficial for later growth.

2. Cutting method

1. Select cuttings: When taking cuttings, choose stems that have not bloomed, and then cut them from the place where new shoots grow. They don’t need to be too long, about two or three centimeters will be enough. Then soak them in rooting solution, which will be more conducive to survival.

2. Prepare the substrate: Prepare a substrate with good air permeability for reproduction, usually moss and sawdust, which have better air permeability and water permeability, and the cuttings will grow and take root better after insertion.

3. Carry out cuttings: After the substrate is prepared, the processed cuttings can be inserted into it. After insertion, gently press around to make the substrate and cuttings more closely combined to prevent skewing.

4. Post-maintenance: After the cuttings are completed, pay attention to the temperature, preferably around 20 degrees, and the humidity between 60 and 80. Also, please note that you should not water or fertilize in the early stages. Wait until new shoots grow out before fertilizing and adding water. This way, the plant can grow very quickly.
