In the cultivation of orchids, new orchids are generally grown from the pseudobulbs of orchids. A single orchid can grow six new seedlings in theory. But in fact, the number of germination is really very small, many can only sprout one, the rest of the buds are dormant.
At this time, we can let the dormant buds wake up, we can germinate more
In many cases, the root system of orchid does not grow well, because the plant is aging, so that the new plant does not have nutrients to grow, while the orchid at the top of the advantage, inhibit the growth of other dormant buds. So it's very useful to divide the orchid into more buds and seedlings.
There is also a traditional way is to say that the autumn orchid junction sprain, to promote more germination.
In the spring, take out the orchid plant and hold two pseudobulbs by hand, twist them in the opposite direction, and then sprinkle powder on them to prevent infection.
The orchid plant is replanted in the flowerpot. It won't be long before new buds can grow again. The buds are also stronger.
Hormone can promote cell division and growth. When it is applied to the upper panel of orchid, it can promote the orchid to grow new buds. Good use, a year can even grow up two, three or even four generations of new seedlings.
After a year, orchids usually have two periods of vigorous growth, spring and autumn. At the same time, they also have two periods of dormancy. Note that when they are dormant, the plants will stop growing. If you can improve the environment and prolong the growth period of orchids, you can make them germinate more
