Potted planting can use pottery basin or earthenware basin better, strong air permeability, conducive to later growth. It is possible to use substrates made from bark and foam plastics as substrates without soil. A layer of broken tiles should be laid on the bottom of the basin to make a drainage layer before planting materials and seedlings. Note that the false bulbs of the seedlings can not be completely buried, and some of them should be exposed. After planting, they should be watered and maintained in a cool place.

I. prepare the flowerpot

When potting, you can use tile basin, plastic basin, wood basin or pottery basin. Among them, pottery basin and tile basin are more ideal. Because the air permeability is better, it is suitable for dry breeding. In addition, we should pay attention to the basin bottom to have drainage holes, side to have air holes, if there is no need to process.

2. Prepare the matrix

Planting Dendrobium does not require soil, and uses bark and foam particles to make substrates. In this way, it is breathable, loose and contains humus. However, it should be disinfected before using the basin to avoid the presence of eggs. After the matrix transformation, it is divided into fine particles, medium particles and coarse particles are put in reserve.

III. potting and planting

First, lay a layer of foam and broken tiles on the bottom of the basin to increase drainage. Then add the prepared coarse-grained plant material on the top, put the plantlets in, add the medium-sized seeds after the root system is arranged, then gently lift the plant, and then compact. Finally, put in the fine-grained plant material, bury most of the pseudobulbs, and expose one third of them outside.

IV. later maintenance

After planting in the upper basin, water it once to make the substrate and plant completely wet, and then maintain it in a cool place. After the seedlings are taken into the basin, increase the light, and pay attention not to get strong sunlight. In addition, it has requirements for temperature, high temperature can not be higher than 35 degrees, low temperature can not be lower than 10 degrees, otherwise it will affect the growth, usually can provide the best temperature between 15 degrees and 30 degrees.
