Orchid Propagation Methods
Main Content Introduction: Topics related to the propagation of orchids, orchid propagation methods, let's get to know them together.
There are two methods of orchid propagation: vegetative propagation and sexual propagation. Vegetative propagation includes cutting and tissue culture techniques, while sexual propagation refers to planting. Generally, family plantings choose the cutting method, usually once every two or three years, and it should be carried out in the autumn and spring seasons.
Each clump after cutting must have at least five pseudobulbs connected together, and each pseudobulb should have at least three healthy leaves, otherwise, there is no need to cut them urgently.
Before cutting, reduce watering to make the potting soil relatively dry. When removing the pot, remove the soil at the roots, wash with clean water, cut off the dead branches and decayed roots and leaves, let it dry for two to three hours, wait until the roots become white and withered, then cut between the pseudobulbs with a knife for cutting, and apply grass ash or sulfur powder to the wound to prevent corrosion.
The above is the full content of the orchid propagation methods shared, hoping it can help you, and at the same time, I hope everyone comes to see more green plant and flower experience and knowledge!
