What are the cold-resistant Dendrobium?

In fact, some native Dendrobium species are relatively cold-tolerant, but because there is no standardized batch supply of native Dendrobium species at present, most of them are collected in the wild, so we will not introduce native Dendrobium species here, but only introduce cold-tolerant horticultural Dendrobium species.

At present, the domestic horticultural varieties of Dendrobium nobile mainly include Dendrobium nobile, Dendrobium sakura and Dendrobium nobile, as well as Dendrobium nobile and Dendrobium segetum. And other species such as Dendrobium nobile introduced before, are not common in China because of the difficulty in planting and high price. Compared with Dendrobium nobile, Dendrobium nobile is more afraid of cold, so Dendrobium nobile is the first choice in areas where there is no heating in winter and the temperature often hovers around zero.

Maintenance points?

Of course, the cold tolerance of Dendrobium nobile is relative, so please don't let Dendrobium nobile be frozen. Even if Dendrobium nobile can shed leaves at low temperature to keep out the cold, it doesn't mean that they can certainly accept sub-zero temperatures. So before frosting, please move them to a closed space such as Nanyang terrace or terrace to avoid cold wind and light, so that you can see a bunch of beautiful flowers next spring.

In addition, if it is indoor heating in the north, don't put Dendrobium nobile in a room with a temperature of ten or twenty degrees. Because the flower bud differentiation of Dendrobium nobile needs to undergo low temperature, that is, vernalization stage. If long-term high temperature will lead to the transformation of flower buds into tall buds, only a bunch of seedlings will be seen in the coming year.

Variety recommendation?

As far as I am concerned, I personally recommend Den. Petite parasol. As a descendant of Nostoc commune, parasol inherits the advantages of small plant shape, lively flowers and exquisite flowers. The mutual contrast between white petals and pink calyx petals perfectly shows its gentle and lovely characteristics.

In addition, the nest. Sakura Ji (Sakura Princess) is also a good variety. It is a wintering variety, which can be seen from the purple halo of its white petals. In fact, the early winter varieties are quite expensive. At present, it should be successfully propagated through tissue culture technology to make the price more approachable and let more people have these beautiful plants.

By the way, put a poisonous photo of other Dendrobium species as a summary.

At the end of this eleventh holiday.
