How to raise Dendrobium candidum

Dendrobium candidum is a kind of epiphyte, which generally grows on cool and humid trunk in the original environment, so we have to imitate the original environment if we want to plant it well

Key points of maintenance:

1. Illumination

The first is the light. Dendrobium candidum is particularly afraid of exposure to the sun. For the first time, I planted it and put it in the sun like grass and flowers. As a result, it died

Now I plant Dendrobium candidum in a place with a sunny back. It won't be directly exposed to the sun. It grows very well! The leaves are green and the stems are strong

It can be planted close to the original wall corner, so that it can be planted on the balcony. Where there is a sun, students on the terrace can plant under tall plants

2. Basin soil

What is epiphyte? That is to say, it is attached to woody plants rather than planted in mud. Therefore, Dendrobium candidum can be planted with broken wood instead of mud

The stem of Dendrobium candidum is meat. Is it afraid of water? We use broken wood with good drainage. Don't let it accumulate water

In addition to using broken wood, what other methods can avoid ponding? That is to choose a flowerpot with good drainage. I use the flowerpot for planting orchids, and there are many drainage holes around me. If you use an ordinary flowerpot, you can use scissors to make several holes

3. Watering

If you water, you must pay attention to two points: one is to pour water through, and the other is not to use tap water

It is easy to understand that watering is permeable, which is conducive to the growth of roots, and fresh air can be brought in when watering to avoid rotten roots

The reason for not using tap water is that it contains residual chlorine, which is very bad for its growth. If conditions permit, pour it with well water or rainwater. If not, put the tap water for two days to let the chlorine volatilize

In summer, because the weather is hot, it is easy to lack water, so I planted some moss on the surface, which can not only moisturize, but also look beautiful

4. Fertilization

Planting Dendrobium candidum is not recommended to use chemical fertilizer. Although chemical fertilizer can grow fast, it will reduce its effective components

I usually fertilize with organic fertilizer, which is green and pollution-free. In spring and autumn, I will bury 10-20g of sheep dung on the surface of the flower pot. Sheep dung can slowly release nutrients for its growth, ensuring the normal nutritional needs. Usually, you can pour it with cake fertilizer and water

How to pick Dendrobium candidum

We all know that Dendrobium candidum can be used as medicine, so how to pick it

The annual growth of Dendrobium candidum is as follows: new buds grow from February to may, new roots grow from new buds in May, and flowers bloom successively from April to October. 10 - it grows slowly in February over the years and accumulates nutrition

So if you want to pick, you have to pick the branches after February of the calendar year. But the flowers of Dendrobium candidum can also be used as medicine, so I choose to pick them from March to April, so that I can not only use the stem as medicine, but also pick the flowers

The picking method is also very simple, that is, use scissors to cut a branch away from the drawing
