Tiger orchid is usually cut with leaves. Select the thick leaves, cut them into 5 cm segments, and let them curl slowly for a few days. Find a flowerpot of the right size, pad the bottom with broken tiles, and then fill it with sandy soil. Put the rooting powder on the bottom of the dried cuttings and insert it into the basin soil 3-4cm deep. After inserting, pour water once, put it in a well ventilated place, do not accept the light. When the temperature is controlled between 15-25 ℃, rooting can take place one month later.

I. cutting blades

The first step of cutting is to select leaves. Select some stronger leaves, so it is easier to root. Cut the leaves into 5 cm long segments and put them in the shade for a few days until the leaves curl slightly.

II. Pot soil preparation

The suitable soil can also make the rooting speed faster. It is better to choose sandy soil with better drainage, because the soil is too sticky, which will make it difficult to take root. In addition, you can use broken tiles and coarse sand on the bottom pad to strengthen its drainage capacity.

3. Cutting

Cutting time requirements are not big, as long as it is not winter. Put the rooting powder on the bottom of the dried leaves, and then insert it into the pot soil, with a depth of about 3-4cm. Be careful not to insert it backwards, otherwise it will not survive. After cutting, water once and put it in a cool and ventilated place.

IV. follow up maintenance

Good maintenance can make it recover faster. The temperature of the environment should be kept between 15-25 ℃, and the water should not be too much at ordinary times. Keep the basin soil slightly moist, and there should be no water. At this time, it is not suitable to apply fertilizer to avoid damage to the bottom. Generally a month or so will take root.
