How to plant the seeds of Cymbidium repens

A few stems are drawn out from the long and thin leaves, and small orchids of different colors are stretched out from the stems and branches. The gentle pink and bright yellow are all the unique beauty shown by the wind and rain orchids. Because it's easy to raise, stormy orchid has also become one of the indoor plants that flower friends like. The operation is also very simple. Today, I'd like to introduce an alternative method to you.

I. sowing time

The time of sowing is determined by the time of harvesting, and the germination rate of seeds is higher after picking, which has a lot to do with the freshness of seeds. Generally, it can be sown in all seasons, but the temperature is relatively low in winter, so it is necessary to operate in a warm place indoors

2. Seed selection

Before seed setting, it is necessary to help pollination. Usually, if you want to get the seeds with good results, you need to cross pollinate the mother and the father many times, combine the pollen of several kinds of flowers together, and pollinate a flower at the same time. The fruit setting rate will be greatly improved. The final seed is a crescent shaped black seed, very light

3. Sowing method

1. Use water to catalyze seeds. Find a container, fill it with cold water, or tap water, and put the seeds in it. Do not need special treatment, change water every day. If you don't want to be diligent, you can change water once every two or three days, mainly to prevent the seeds from rotting due to the poor water quality. Because the seeds are light and float on the water surface, pay attention not to pour them out when changing the water. When the seeds produce small white buds, pay more attention not to break the buds when changing the water. Can drop half of the water at a time, change half of the water

2. The seeds soaked in water can grow white buds in about four or five days, which are the rudiments of roots. Scoop it out for sowing.

3. Prepare a flowerpot with the best drainage and air permeability. Plant the seeds with young roots facing down in the flowerpot with the top covered with soil. It does not need to be very thick and can cover the seeds by about 0.2cm. At this time, planting density is not too strict, and later seedling should be planted separately.

4. After the seeds are planted, find a large basin, put the flowerpot in, and fill it with water. The water will seep into the basin soil to supply water. Don't flush with water directly. At this time, the seeds are fragile and light, which is not conducive to rooting.

After growing seedlings can gradually accept light, but do not directly insolate or bake, to avoid burns.
