The growth of Dendrobium candidum requires very high substrates. We can't cultivate with soil like other plants. The common cultivation substrates are bark, such as pine bark, which is stacked layer by layer and has excellent water retention, which is also beneficial to the growth of Dendrobium candidum root system. So how does Dendrobium candidum need to be cultivated? Today, Wall Valley will study with you!
1, flowerpot selection
For potted Dendrobium candidum, we need to prepare a flowerpot with a relatively large caliber and a relatively large permeable hole at the bottom. The requirement is that the water permeability and air permeability are absolutely good, and no accumulated water can be generated. Once there is water accumulation, it will lead to poor growth and even death!
2. Culture substrate
Unlike many plants, Dendrobium candidum can never be cultivated in soil. Dendrobium candidum cultivated for use is not long, but it will die. Common and practical substrates mainly include bark such as pine bark, water moss, gravel, coconut skin, moss, sawdust and so on. We can also find a big rotten wood to cultivate Dendrobium candidum! The main characteristics of these substances are good water retention, good air permeability and no water accumulation.
3. Breeding environment
Dendrobium candidum is suitable for growing in a cool, humid and well-ventilated environment. Therefore, we can generally see that many breeding bases are covered with sunshade nets, which can not only prevent the water from evaporating too fast, but also make it have suitable lighting conditions.
4. Planting skills
When planting Dendrobium candidum, it should be noted that the stem can't buy the substrate, and we only need to cover most of its roots with the substrate. Too much planting in deep water will lead to withering and death for a long time. After planting, we need to water the substrate.
5, maintenance methods
After the planting of Dendrobium candidum is completed, it should always grow in a well-ventilated place, and it must be shaded. Family maintenance is generally placed on the balcony in the north or the balcony and window sill in the east. You can let the sun shine in the morning, and the high temperature in the afternoon is not suitable for direct sunlight. Pay attention to the shade in summer and try not to let it receive direct light.
6. Matters needing attention
When planting Dendrobium candidum on a sunny balcony, we can put it under large plants to keep them out of the sun. Usually watering needs to be done at night, and it is not suitable for watering in the afternoon with high temperature. Dendrobium candidum will grow quickly in rainy weather.
