Who says orchid seedlings can not be cut alone? As long as these two conditions are met, the harder you cut, the more seedlings you will grow.

This kind of orchid can be cut into individual seedlings, and the more it is cut, the more it will be sent. In fact, the reason is very simple.

There are thousands of techniques for raising orchids, that is, there are many theories about how orchids divide seedlings. Some people say that orchids should be squeezed to grow and should not be divided into seedlings; some people say that orchids should not be too crowded and are easy to get sick; some people say that orchids should be divided into at least four seedlings. But what about the truth?

First of all, the good farmer thinks that Lanyou is going to think about the orchid before dividing the seedlings. What is your purpose in dividing the seedlings? do not divide the seedlings in order to divide the seedlings. The purpose of dividing the seedlings is probably as follows: there are too many seedlings for fear of disease. After all, there is little risk of putting eggs in different baskets. In addition, I want to send out more seedlings of orchids as soon as possible in order to maximize profits.

Today's good photo of farmers this article focuses on Chunlan, other orchids are not in this example. Spring orchid in the new bud is separated from its Reed head (also known as false bulb), so whether the new bud can be divided into more and strong buds does not depend on the number of mother seedlings, but more on the sturdiness of mother seedlings and the size of Reed heads.

The photo in this article is Chunlan, which was divided in April this year with only one seedling in each pot. Because the flowers of this spring orchid are more beautiful, so the good farmer also wants it to produce some new seedlings, so he cut the seedlings ruthlessly. Now we can see that the least number of new seedlings have also sent out 2 seedlings.

Just imagine, if you didn't cut single seedlings so hard, would it be possible to send out 40 new seedlings if a large clump of orchids (20 seedlings) were in one pot? It's obviously impossible. Who says cutting a single seedling is a big taboo in orchid cultivation? That's because there is no such good mother seedling.

For cutting a single seedling, the good farmer thinks that it depends on the mother seedling, and if it is strong enough, it can be cut into a single seedling. Just take care of the wound when cutting and don't let it get infected. Good photographers disinfect farmers with sunlight in April, and the sun can also restrain the wound, so the cut orchid seedlings are put into the pot after half a day in the sun.

The strong Reed head of Chunlan can provide them with enough nutrients when the new buds are just sprouting. Even if a Reed head produces two or three new buds, they will not freeze the seedlings due to lack of nutrients.

Of course, the season is also very important. The temperature and humidity from March to April are very suitable for the growth of orchids. During this period, the orchid root grows very fast. As long as the orchid root has a crystal head, the new buds can get more nutrients. Under this condition, there is no problem for new buds to grow into strong seedlings.

Therefore, the reason why a good farmer dares to cut a single seedling is to meet these two conditions.

First, the mother seedling is strong and the false bulb is hypertrophic, which can provide enough nutrients.

Second, the season is suitable for seedling division and rooting, usually 3mi-April. Orchids can be divided into seedlings in the second half of the year, but it is not suitable to cut alone, because the orchid root is in a dormant period when overwintering, which is different from that in spring.
