How to Germinate Phalaenopsis Orchid Seeds
Let me tell you about how to germinate Phalaenopsis orchid seeds and the complete process of growing Phalaenopsis orchids, including information about green plants and flowers, as follows:
In recent years, Phalaenopsis orchids have been highly favored by growers because of their beautiful appearance. However, scientifically cultivating these plants is not an easy task. First, we need to select the Phalaenopsis flowers and extract the seeds from the flower's ovary. Alternatively, you can directly plant withered Phalaenopsis flowers in the flowerbed and wait for the seeds to grow. You can also use a sterile method to culture the seeds of Phalaenopsis orchids. Let's learn about the planting methods for Phalaenopsis orchid seeds.
1. Selecting the Flower's Ovary
To grow Phalaenopsis orchid seeds, you must select solid flower ovaries and plant them in the soil. Typically, solid flower ovaries contain the Phalaenopsis orchid's stems and leaves, which play a crucial role in growing the seeds. Hollow ovaries usually contain stems and leaves that are almost dead, making it impossible to grow Phalaenopsis orchid seeds.
2. Planting Method
If you find it麻烦 to select the flower ovaries, you can wait until the Phalaenopsis orchid is about to wither, then pick it and dry it in the sun. Prepare some soil from under a big tree, rinse the dried Phalaenopsis orchid flowers with water, dry them with a paper towel, and then place them in the soil. After a month, the Phalaenopsis orchid seeds will be ready.
3. Sterile Planting
Sterile planting is a relatively expensive method for growing Phalaenopsis orchid seeds. Using this method requires preparing a sterile container and spraying 1 milliliter of disinfectant solution inside it. Clean the Phalaenopsis orchid's flower bud, then spray it with disinfectant solution for secondary disinfection. After the secondary disinfection, place the flower bud on the container and let it dry in a cool place.
