Dendrobium drumstick, a perennial plant, prefers a warm and humid place. The stem is upright, with many lovely ribs on it, and there are 2 to 5 leaves near the top, which looks really special. From March to May every year, it's the season when it blooms. The branches are covered with golden flowers, with a little fragrance. It looks like a good scenery. Then what are the main ways of reproduction? Let's understand.

1. Branch propagation

In this way, we usually choose some plants with dense growth. When the flower is over, take them out of the basin carefully, and then cut the base of the stem on the old root. When cutting, pay attention not to hurt its root system. The root will pull it apart by hand without using a knife. Generally, each main plant is formed into a group, and then the old root is further cut off. Put its new buds close to the middle of the pot, add new matrix and compact it, so that it can become a new plant to start growing. The reproduction of ramets is finished.

2. Bud splitting propagation

There are more than 3 years plants planted in the pot, or some Dendrobium autumnale have some small plants on the top or on the base, then we can use them for bud cutting and propagation. First, select some small plants with 3 to 4 leaves and 2 to 3 roots, and the roots are about 4 to 5cm long. Then cut them off from their mother plants, and then use some plant ash to deal with the wounds, and replant the seedlings into the pots. When planting, we should also pay attention to it. We should not plant too deep, but shallow. In general, this method can basically bloom after 2 years of cultivation and become a good commodity flower.

3. Cuttage Propagation

This method is often used by many plants. It can be combined with the time of basin changing and plant splitting after flowering. Dendrobium drumstick has a lot of slender and fleshy stems, and there are many joints on the stems, on which small buds can grow, so it can be propagated by cutting. Select some branches that have not yet blossomed but are relatively full, cut them into many segments, and apply some plant ash on the wound. Then put them in a good matrix, half of them outside, and put them in a semi cool and moist place. They do not need to be watered for a week, and spray moisture regularly. After 1 to 2 months can grow out of the bud, and then on the pot can
