How to cut

Cutting is one of the ways for orchids to reproduce. Before cutting, you should choose the plants with good quality, and cut the plants at the joints of its pseudobulbs with sharp blades or scissors. After separating, each small cluster should ensure that there are 3-5 pseudobulbs combined together and with bud eyes, and then insert the bulbs flat into the soil, to ensure that there are nodes in the soil, so that the new buds will grow. Come, take good care of it after germination.

Can you live without a root?

Planting without roots can also survive.

3. Breeding conditions

1. Soil: like aerated, soft and permeable soil.

2. Temperature: the temperature suitable for its rooting is 20-28 ℃; when the temperature is lower than 20 ℃ or higher than 28 ℃, it will cause its growth speed to decrease; when the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, it will enter into sleep state,

3. Humidity: it originally grew in the deep forest. The humidity standard of living environment is also relatively high. The best humidity is 60% - 70%. Over humidity or over drying is not conducive to plant growth. If the environmental humidity and temperature meet its requirements, it will grow very lively, the flower bud rate will increase, and the amount of flowering will increase.
