How to care for Dendrobium海棠 after entering winter?
Provide it with ample sunlight
For Dendrobium海棠, it prefers scattered light. In winter, it is important to provide it with sufficient sunlight because the sunlight in winter is generally weak. At this time, it is necessary to place Dendrobium海棠 in a sunny area to ensure it gets enough light for photosynthesis.
Provide it with a suitable growing temperature
Dendrobium海棠 is relatively cold-tolerant, but it is best to keep it indoors for maintenance in winter. The temperature for maintenance should not be lower than 5°C because too low temperatures can cause Dendrobium海棠 to drop leaves or even wither. In winter, the care of Dendrobium海棠 should try to maintain its temperature to allow it to survive the winter safely.
Reduce watering for Dendrobium海棠 in winter
Dendrobium海棠 prefers a humid environment. When watering, ensure the potting soil remains moist. However, after entering winter, it is necessary to reduce the amount of watering appropriately. The principle of watering in winter is to water when the potting soil is slightly dry, not too much or too little. Too much water can cause root rot, and too little cannot maintain the normal growth of Dendrobium海棠.
Apply fertilizer correctly in winter
Fertilizing is very important for Dendrobium海棠. To make it grow vigorously and not lack nutrients, it is necessary to fertilize. However, after entering winter, fertilization should change and should not be the same as in other periods. Generally, no nitrogen fertilizer is needed after October, and only two applications of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are required. But if the temperature is low, for example, below 10°C, fertilization should be stopped to avoid root burn, which is harmful to Dendrobium海棠.
