How to promote root growth in rootless Phalaenopsis orchids
Today's sharing: knowledge on promoting root growth in rootless Phalaenopsis orchids in the field of green plants and flowers, let's take a look together.
How to promote root growth in rootless Phalaenopsis orchids
First, let's take a look at this Phalaenopsis orchid. Previously, it was actually in a near-death state. Then, I tied this sphagnum moss around its pseudobulb, placed it at the bottom of this plastic bottle, and put a little water in it, creating a very good water supplement device.
I have shared many methods of inducing roots in such rootless Phalaenopsis orchids before. At that time, I also conducted many experiments and shared many videos with you. We can use coconut shells to induce roots.
Or use volcanic rocks mixed with pine bark to induce roots, or even add a little stone powder for planting, which can also have an effect on root induction. However, after conducting so many experiments, I think the most reliable method is to use sphagnum moss for root induction. So why do I say that using sphagnum moss for root induction is very reliable.
1. Reason for choosing sphagnum moss
First, let's take a look at this Phalaenopsis orchid. Previously, it was actually in a near-death state. Then, I tied this sphagnum moss around its pseudobulb, placed it at the bottom of this plastic bottle, and put a little water in it, creating a very good water supplement device.
After taking care of it for a while, we found that it has now grown new roots. You can see that a new root has grown. So this method can make the nearly dead Phalaenopsis orchid grow new roots as soon as possible, which is very reliable.
2. Benefits
Then let's talk about this pot. I have shared many videos about this pot before. You can see that these are the new roots that have grown out, and then these new roots have grown more lateral roots, which are very abundant and healthy, and the water has never been changed, meaning the original water.
My Phalaenopsis orchid's roots are actually soaked in water, but there are no signs of rot. It not only grows many lateral roots at the bottom but also continuously grows new roots. You will find that using this method for root induction is very reliable.
It can quickly make the rootless, nearly dead Phalaenopsis orchid grow new roots as soon as possible, and the roots that grow will be very vigorous. I can already transplant it, but I haven't had the time. If you find that your Phalaenopsis orchid's roots are very strong, we can transplant it.
3. Summary
So here, I would like to summarize that for rootless Phalaenopsis orchids in the early stage, you can choose to use sphagnum moss with this device for root induction. After a part of the roots grow, we can transplant them to a coconut shell.
You can see that this is a rootless Phalaenopsis orchid that I planted in a coconut shell before, and now it has grown new roots at the bottom, and it has also grown very strong roots. Later, you can choose this method for transplantation. The most reliable method for root induction in Phalaenopsis orchids is this one. If you want to induce roots in Phalaenopsis orchids, you can try this method appropriately.
The above is a detailed introduction on how to promote root growth in rootless Phalaenopsis orchids, have you understood it?
