3. Humidity: Maintain a higher air humidity, generally between 60%-80%.
Soil and Substrate1. Soil: Choose well-drained, breathable soil such as decomposed leaf soil, coarse sand, etc.
2. Substrate: A mixture of decomposed leaf soil, coarse sand, and perlite can be used, with a ratio of about 3:1:1.
Watering and Fertilizing1. Watering: Keep the soil moist but avoid waterlogging. During high temperatures in summer, the watering frequency can be appropriately increased; during low temperatures in winter, the watering frequency should be reduced.
2. Fertilizing: During the growth period of Iron皮 Dendrobium, apply a thin fertilizer every 20 days, mainly using compound fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and the concentration should not be too high.
