1、 Do you need to dry it

Whether Dendrobium needs to be completely dried before cutting depends on the situation. If cutting is carried out immediately, there is no need to be too much drying, as long as there is no water dripping at the incision. If cutting is to be carried out in the spring of the next year, it needs to be dried for a while to ensure that there is no juice dripping at the incision and it is better to harden slightly. The whole stem removes some water, which can ensure the survival rate of cutting and prevent decay in the matrix. In particular, it should be noted that when drying, it must be placed in a cool and ventilated place, not in the hot sun. In case the whole stem is dried, cutting will be more difficult after losing activity and moisture

2、 Cutting method

1. Harvest stems: during its mature harvest period, cut annual stems from its full-grown plants. It is best to ensure vigorous growth and full of nutrients. If there is no flower, the length does not need to be too long, as long as it is 4-5cm. One bud is retained on each stem segment

2. Preparation of substrate: for the selection of this aspect, it is necessary to ventilate first, ensure sufficient permeability, and smoothly discharge the excess water

3. Cutting: insert the treated branches, and then gently press the substrate tightly to maintain the temperature of about 20 degrees, which can increase the possibility of rooting
