This article will reveal the reasons why Dendrobium has always grown leaves and provide corresponding maintenance skills. Why does dendrobium always grow leaves?
1. Dendrobium with insufficient light is a shade loving plant. If it is exposed to direct light for a long time, it will grow slowly or even only grow leaves. During the maintenance process, it should avoid placing Dendrobium in direct sunlight.

During the fertilization process, the principle of appropriate amount must be followed and nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements must be reasonably mixed.
