How to cultivate orchids
Below is an introduction to the knowledge of orchid cultivation and related planting methods for grass and flower enthusiasts. Next, the editor of this site will introduce to you.
When planting orchids, you can choose a tall pot with drainage holes made of pottery to ensure water retention and breathability. Use clean foam or large-particle gravel to line the bottom of the pot.
Seeds taken from uncracked fruit should be soaked in a sodium hypochlorite solution for seven to eight minutes. Afterward, rinse them with clean water, then wrap the seeds in clean tissue paper to absorb moisture, and place them in the sun to dry.
Spread the dried seeds evenly on the surface of the potting soil, then cover them with a thin layer of soil and water the soil slightly to moisten it.
Place the pot in a well-ventilated area with diffused light, and maintain a temperature of about 25 degrees Celsius. Then cover the flower pot with a plastic bag to keep it warm, and make a few small holes in it to allow the seeds to breathe. It usually takes four to six months for orchid seeds to germinate.
For planting orchids by division, stop watering in advance to allow the potting soil to dry. Then carefully remove the orchid plant from its original pot, remove the old soil, comb the roots, find the division point, and cut them apart with a disinfected pair of scissors. After the division, cut off the old and rotten roots and sick leaves of the plant, then spray each wound with a fungicide for disinfection.
