The invention discloses a planting method for dendrobium officinale. The planting method includes the following steps that firstly, a seedling growing foundation is prepared; secondly, a seedling pot is prepared; thirdly, field planting is conducted; fourthly, later-period management is conducted, wherein the later-period management includes watering, fertilizing and disease and pest prevention; fifthly, harvesting is conducted. According to disease and pest prevention, an isolation ditch is formed in the periphery of a seedbed for surrounding the seedbed, the width of the isolation ditch is 30-50 cm, and the isolation ditch is filled with water or oil; carbendazim diluted 1000-fold liquid with the volume concentration of 50 percent is used for the dendrobium black spot disease happening from March to May, and spraying is conducted 2-3 times a month; carbendazim diluted 1000-fold liquid with the volume concentration of 50 percent or thiophanate methyl 1000-fold liquid with the volume concentration of 50 percent is used for the dendrobium anthracnose happening from January to May, and spraying is conducted 2-3 times a month. According to the planting method for the dendrobium officinale, the survival rate of the dendrobium officinale is increased, the content of various nutrition components, dendrobine, polysaccharide and coarse fibers of the dendrobium officinale planted through the method is high, in addition, diseases and pests in the planting process are obviously reduced, the use amount of pesticide is reduced, and the edible safety of the dendrobium officinale is improved.
