The invention provides a method for planting dendrobium officinale on a tree, and belongs to the technical field of dendrobium officinale planting. The method comprises the steps of selecting and treating an adnascent tree, pretreating seedlings, treating moss, binding the tree and fixing planting, performing water and fertilizer management after fixing planting, and the like. During treatment on the adnascent tree, a notch which does not damage a stem cambium is formed in a tree trunk, the tree trunk is coated with a pulpous nutrition medium, and the dendrobium officinale is planted after the tree is planted for 3 to 5 days, wherein the used pulpous medium is prepared from dimethomorph, manganese zinc myclobutanil, ivy extracts, gibberellins, andrographolide, polyvinyl acetate emulsion, sorbitol, potassium nitrate, ammonium nitro-humate and monocalcium phosphate. The tree is treated in advance, so that the varieties of the selectable trees can be increased; the dendrobium officinale domesticated seedlings are soaked with planting fixing nutritional liquid before planting fixing and then is irrigated after planting fixing, so that the root system of the domesticated seedlings is developed quickly, plant diseases and insect pests are few, and the survival rate is above 98 percent.
