The best splitting time is after flowering. Because if we divide plants before flowering, it may cause plants to blossom less or not. If you plant when the buds are tillering, it may hurt the buds. After flowering, the reproductive genes begin to dormant. After flowering, it can also help the buds to differentiate better.

When is it time to plant

Because the root system of orchid is relatively developed, and its development is limited by flowerpots, which are zigzag and crisscross without any extension, so fertilization and watering are very unfavorable. In addition, the basin is crowded and poor in air permeability, which is easy to be threatened by diseases and insect pests, and it is difficult to divide plants. Therefore, the pots are usually changed every two or three years. If the varieties are more expensive, they can be changed every three or four years. But in flowerpot root system density is not the same, basin soil, pest and so on situation is different, divides the plant time to also be different.

If we divide plants before flowering, it may cause plants to blossom less or not. If you plant when the buds are tillering, it may hurt the buds. And the variety is different, the living environment is different, the interference from the outside is different, so we can't find an accurate time that doesn't hurt the plant to divide.

When the orchid blooms, its growth and development is in a diapause stage. After flowering, the reproductive genes will start to dormant and enter the growth stage. Therefore, the basin can be changed within half a month after the flower withers, so that the flowering of the plant will not be affected, and the leaf bud of the plant will not be damaged. In this period, the division of plants will also help the better differentiation of leaf buds. Generally speaking, the best ramet time of orchid is after flowering.
