1. Prepare potting soil: the first step before planting is to prepare a well ventilated flowerpot and loose and clean soil. The soil can be mixed with peat soil, coarse sand, coal cinder and sandy loam. Before use, it's better to detoxify
2. Seed treatment: before sowing, the uncracked fruit shall be sterilized with alcohol, then the seed shall be taken out, and then the seed shall be soaked in sodium chlorate for 5-10 minutes. After soaking, take it out and put it into clean water for washing, which can reduce the growth of weeds and is more conducive to seed germination.
3. Start planting: put the treated seeds into the soil, cover a layer of 3cm soil, and then water it once, and then place it in the room with the temperature of 25 ℃, waiting for rooting and germination.
In addition to sowing, we can also use the method of plant division. As long as the growth condition is good and the pseudobulbous stem is relatively dense, it can be divided. Usually, five pseudobulbous are connected together to form a clump of clean sandy loam, and each clump can be potted. In the basin, to water it, put it in the semi - Yin environment, half a month or so will take root.
When cultivating orchids, it is best to use professional soil, which can be purchased directly from the nearby flower market. If it's family farming, it's good to make up the soil by yourself, but it should meet the requirements of ventilation, acidity, strong drainage capacity, etc., which will help the later growth of orchids more robust
