All orchid leaves can be cut off to germinate again.If the roots of the orchid are well protected, they can germinate again.However, the growth of orchids in good condition, it is best not to cut all the leaves, just the diseased leaves, dead leaves and poor growth of orchid leaves cut off on the line.Because cutting the leaves may reduce the survival rate of the plant.Moreover, plant growth requires not only root absorption of nutrients, but also photosynthesis and respiration of leaves.If the leaves are cut off, the orchid will grow very slowly.In addition, do not let the pruning wound touch water, scissors should also be disinfected clean, to avoid wound infection.
1. Trim the leaves: When the orchid leaves grow too thick, need to cut off the weak leaves, old leaves, so that the plant has sufficient growth space, and there is a good ventilation environment.Moreover, it is necessary to cut off the diseased leaves and stop the damage in time to prevent infection of other healthy leaves and affect the health of plants.
2. Pruning flower buds: If you find too many flower buds, you need to cut them off, leaving about two flower buds.This can prevent excessive nutrient consumption and affect the normal flowering and growth of orchids.
3. Pruning flower stems: After flowering, the flower stems need to be cut off in time to prevent nutrient consumption.The cut flower stem is firstly pruned from the position about 3cm away from the flowerpot, and after the remaining flower stem begins to wither, the flower stem is continuously pruned, and the root is reserved to grow a new stem.
