The methods of propagation of Phalaenopsis seedlings include pedicel, heart breaking and stem cutting. The method of promoting bud of pedicel is to cut off the upper end of pedicel and leave the bud point, and germinate at 25-28 ℃; the method of breaking heart and accelerating bud is to cut off the heart leaf and sterilize it, waiting for germination; the method of cutting stem is to remove the upper end of plant, waiting for germination.

1. Bud promotion and propagation of pedicel

Cut off the pedicel: first cut off the flower, and then use the sterilized blade to cut off the bracts from the first to the third internode on the upper end of the pedicel, so as to expose the internode bud points.

② apply hormone: evenly apply the hormone such as germinating agent or indobutyric acid on the node bud that has been exposed.

③ growing leaves: put the coated plants in the semi hidden place, keep the optimal temperature of 25-28 ℃, after 2-3 weeks, the buds can grow leaves, and then grow into Phalaenopsis seedlings after 3 months.

4. Cut off the seedlings: finally, treat the grown seedlings in the basin to get a new plant.

2. The method of breaking heart and accelerating bud propagation

First, cut off the top of the highest leaves, to destroy the growth point on the stem tip, so that it can not continue to grow.

② disinfection: after the wound is dried, select the appropriate disinfectant to smear the node, and new buds can grow 2-3 weeks later.

Cut and plant: when the new buds grow up, cut and plant the growing seedlings, you can get a new plant.

3. Stem cutting propagation method

① enucleation: use the sterilized blade to remove the upper part of the plant.
