Orchid wound healing principle and how to deal with

Orchids are monocotyledons and have no cambium, so the wound does not produce callus like dicotyledons, but can only be protected by the drying up of dead cells on the outside. So it is usually dried, or let the outer cells dry (hot) or artificially add a protective film (medicine or sealing agent) as soon as possible. Hot cigarette butts can also be ironed immediately after dividing, press the burning core of the cigarette butts to stay at the wound for 3 seconds, and then cover the hot area with some cigarette ash. Put the newly divided orchids in the pot for one day and then water them!

The experience of dividing the seedlings has been shared by the chess teacher, which is roughly repeated here as follows: first, hold the Reed head with your hand and shake it slightly to loosen the tight but unjoined parts of the two seedlings. Then poke along the loose part with a toothpick to find out the node between the two seedlings. Generally, the nodes are close to Lao Miao. After finding the node, slowly reach in with scissors, and then slightly open the edge of the scissors to cut off. Remember that the opening of the scissors is not too large and use the head of the scissors instead of using the scissors as a guillotine. Of course, there is also a process of straightening out the roots before cutting, that is, we all understand that the roots that belong to that seedling go to the other side first.
