Diagram of orchid ramet

Orchid split is not difficult, as long as the heart is fine, the key is to master the orchid split time, this article we first say the time, and then refer to other flower friends split diagram, for flower friends reference.

1. Time of orchid division:

When the orchid pot plant material used too long aging or too many seedlings do not have room to grow, it must be divided or pot, generally speaking, the most suitable time for dividing plants is spring and autumn, when the orchid plant is mature stage, damage rate can be reduced to the lowest. In the first half of the year, it is best to arrive at the vernal equinox, when the flowering period is over, the leaf buds have not sprouted yet, and it is not easy to suffer from freezing damage, so it can be turned over in due time. In the second half of the year, it is best to fall from the autumnal equinox to frost, and orchids will enter dormancy state. At this time, turning over pots will affect the growth of orchids less. After winter rest and nutrition accumulation, orchids can bloom and germinate well in spring. It is also an important link to maintain orchids.

2. Orchid ramet diagram (from: Anji Tiger):

1. inverted pot (a pot of spring orchids cultivated for many years)

2. Tool preparation (surgical scissors/scalpels/disinfectant alcohol lamps), if conditions do not allow other sharp knives, such as blades.

3. Look carefully at the seedling structure and find the best ramets.

4. Root cutting (after selecting the ramets, comb the roots first, separate the intertwined roots, pay attention to be careful and slow to reduce root cutting)

5. Twist (hold the root with both hands and twist gently to find the connection point; do not break the reed head roughly with your hands, which is easy to damage the sprouts and leaves)

6. Cut down (the correct position, decisive cut down. Note: every time the next cut, there must be orchid plant separation, in the absence of two before, do not move the second cut; hasty under the results of cutting is the orchid plant divided into pieces.)

7. Trimming (cutting off the yellow trouser leg, where there is a place for dirt)

8. Rinse (out with running water)

9. Subdivision (for orchid plants that need to be subdivided, to find suitable connection points again, generally 3-4 seedlings per plant, so that less damage, easy rejuvenation)

10. Cut (with a scalpel, carefully cut, so that the wound is small and easy to heal. Note: surgical blades should be changed one by one to prevent virus transmission.)

11. Apply medicine (all separate wounds are treated with germicidal drugs, I use "white support" original powder to directly touch the wound, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of stem rot in summer)

End (after the orchid plant is separated, it should cool for 1 day, wait for the root system to soften, and then put it on the pot after the wound shrinks. Note: Do not water the pot within 3 days, which is conducive to wound healing and prevents patients caused by sub-pots.)
