How to sow Phalaenopsis seeds?

1. Natural sowing method: the natural sowing method is to sow the seeds from the cracked capsule in the flowerpot of the parent plant, which is simple and easy, without complicated aseptic procedures and operating tools, and is suitable for ordinary family Phalaenopsis growers. But the chance of success is slim.

2. Aseptic sowing method

① capsule treatment: the uncracked mature fruit of Phalaenopsis was washed and soaked in 75% ethanol or chloroform for 2 seconds, then soaked in 5% 10% bleach solution or 3% hydrogen peroxide for 5 minutes for 20 minutes, the seeds were removed.

② seed treatment: Phalaenopsis seeds were soaked in the same disinfectant for 5 minutes, then the solution was removed by filtration, and the seeds were evenly spread on the surface of the culture medium in the prepared bottle with fine needles.

③ post-sowing management: the culture condition is light intensity 2000-3000 lux, 10-18 hours a day, temperature 20-26 ℃. After 9-10 months, the seedlings can grow 2-3 leaves out of the bottle and pot.

Planting methods of Phalaenopsis

1. Lighting: Phalaenopsis likes shade, but it still needs to receive some light, especially the appropriate light before and after flowering can promote flowering, so it is generally placed indoors with scattered light, do not let direct sunlight, such as on the indoor windowsill to cover part of the sun.

2. Soil: Phalaenopsis has higher requirements for soil, such as pine needles, peanut shells, bark silk, clay balls and so on. If you can't configure these materials, you can buy orchid for Phalaenopsis in the flower market directly.

3. Temperature: Phalaenopsis likes the environment of high temperature and humidity. During the growth period, the lowest temperature should be kept above 15 ℃, and the suitable growth temperature should be 16 ℃ to 30 ℃. The temperature should be increased at the turn of autumn, winter and spring and when the winter temperature is low.

4. Watering: Phalaenopsis likes high humidity, but must not accumulate water, and avoid making Phalaenopsis in a state of water shortage, especially during the growth period of Phalaenopsis, once frequent water shortage will cause leaves yellowing and difficult to recover.

5. Fertilization: the principle of fertilization for Phalaenopsis is to apply less fertilizer and light fertilizer. The fertilizers suitable for Phalaenopsis include foliar fertilizer, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, farm fertilizer fermented with water, special fertilizer for orchids and so on. Foliar fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be used alternately in the growing period.

6. Ventilation: the normal growth of Phalaenopsis needs flowing fresh air, so the ventilation of Phalaenopsis must be good, especially in the high humidity period in summer, it must be well ventilated to prevent heat, and at the same time, it can avoid the infection of diseases and insect pests.

7. Change the basin: Phalaenopsis must change the basin once a year, late spring and early summer is the most suitable time to change the basin, timely change can prevent the growth of the poor caused by matrix decay, because Phalaenopsis likes highly ventilated soil, the occurrence of matrix decay will cause the soil to be impervious.

Phalaenopsis needs low temperature to promote flower bud differentiation, generally less than 20 ℃ can achieve the purpose of promoting flower, but the indoor temperature is sometimes lower than 10 ℃ in winter, it can be placed in sunny windowsill or near heating equipment to increase the temperature.

3. Phalaenopsis should keep the substrate moist during the growing period, a little dry is beneficial to root growth, long-term excessive humidity will lead to rotten roots, and the indoor relative air humidity should reach more than 60%.

4. Phalaenopsis needs to spray water to moisturize the plants when the weather is dry, which can form a microclimate conducive to the growth of Phalaenopsis, and humidifiers are available to increase air humidity.

5. Phalaenopsis seedlings do not require high light and can be maintained in a semi-shaded environment. Adults like sufficient scattered light. Full light can be seen in the morning and evening in spring, summer and autumn, shade at noon, and light all day in winter.
