How to plant the seeds of Cymbidium

Choose healthy and full seeds, soak the seeds in 40 ℃ warm water to promote the seed coat and endosperm to slowly soften and expand. After 24 to 36 hours, the seeds are removed and hung for a while for sowing, and the seeds are placed in a culture medium filled with fine sand and sawdust for accelerated germination treatment. Wait for about 40 days, when the seed bud root grows to 2 cm, it can be planted in a flowerpot for maintenance.

First, select seeds

Select healthy, full seeds, although some seeds have matured, but there is no obvious bead hole, pollination affinity is not strong, and some are self-pollination, after this kind of seed is sown, it is not easy to emerge, or the seedling growth is weak.

Second, soaking seeds in warm water

The seed coat of Cymbidium is very tough, and the cortical ground is hard and smooth, so it is not easy to enter the water, but its navel enters the water very quickly. So before sowing, soak the seeds in 40 ℃ warm water to make the seed coat and endosperm slowly soften and swell. After about 24 to 36 hours, remove the seeds and dry them for a little while.

Third, sowing method

Prepare the container, add a fine sand matrix to the container, cover the fine sand with a layer of sawdust, cover with a layer of sawdust, keep it at 20 to 25 ℃ at room temperature, and germinate around 40. When the seeds are released, the roots of the buds will grow to 2 cm and then can be transplanted into a prepared flowerpot for maintenance.
