If the orchid is not growing well, it can not be divided.Wait until it grows more vigorous, the root system is more robust, the branches and leaves are more lush, and then divide.The ramets can be divided into at least two seedlings and at most five seedlings.It is not recommended to exceed five seedlings because the root system of orchid plants is limited, if divided into too many plants, each plant can get less root system, which is not conducive to survival.
1. Prepare new pots: Before dividing plants, prepare new pots first.New pots should be smaller and more breathable, which is more suitable for the growth of sub-plants.After preparing the pot, spray the pot with disinfectant, wash it with clean water and put it in a ventilated place to dry.
2. Take off the pot and wash the root: a few days before the plant division, stop watering first, so that the flower soil can be kept in a dry state when the plant division, which is more conducive to taking off the pot.When dividing plants, firstly, the orchid flowerpot is horizontally placed, and then the orchid plants are lifted out from the bottom of the orchid flowerpot by hands.After the orchid plant is removed from the pot, it should be put into water to wash away the soil on the root system.
3. Plant division: After washing, dry it in a well-ventilated place.Then use a knife to divide it equally into 2-5 plants along its root system, and ensure that each sub-plant has a partially complete root system.After that, the daughter plants are soaked in disinfectant for a while to disinfect, and then put in a ventilated place to dry.
4. Pot curing: Fill some new soil with good air permeability into the new pot, then plant the sub-plants into the new pot respectively, put them in a warm and well-ventilated place, and slowly cure them.
