Treatment of Old Reed head of Orchid

The old Reed head of orchid generally refers to the old orchid bulb with no leaves, leaves and roots, most of which are peeled off when turning the basin, which should be thrown away, but the old Reed head of the more precious orchid might as well make use of the dormant buds that still exist on the old Reed head to germinate again to cultivate new orchid plants, which is also a way to improve the germination rate of orchids.

Specific methods:

1. Time: late spring and early summer, when the daytime temperature is stable above 15oC.

2. Trim the old Reed head. After trimming the unhealthy Reed head, trim the rotten roots and withered leaves with a clump of 2murl Reed head, and be careful not to hurt the bud eyes.

3. Soak and disinfect: soak the old Reed head in 1000 times methyl topiramate solution for 10 minutes and take it out to dry.

4. Drop the diluted sprouting agent on the bulb and dry it for seed.

5. Soak the root-promoting solution with sterilized water moss and wrap the old Reed head.

6. Put it into the basin, fill it with planting stone, bury the bulb in a depth of 1 to 2 centimeters, and keep it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance.

7, normal watering, do not dry and wet, do not use fertilizer, you can see new buds sprouting after 20 days, some sprouting time may be a little later, be patient to wait.

8. after the new buds are put into the leaves, they can be placed in a ventilated and transparent place and receive light gradually. Do not fertilize the root system, you can apply foliar fertilizer, thin, thin, light is better, otherwise burn new roots and new leaves, the loss outweighs the loss.

9. The orchid plant was taken out in the next spring, and the withered old corm was removed, which can be cultivated and managed normally like other orchid plants.

It must be noted that the orchid plants obtained by this method are small seedlings and weak grass after all, which is only suitable for the propagation of precious orchids to keep seeds, and there is no need to make such a big fight to the general orchids.
