A little knowledge of improving the seedling rate of orchids

For the question of how to improve the seedling rate of orchids, it is important to do the most routine management of orchids first. On the basis of the most conventional management work, slowly try some new scientific methods, before some new budding methods have not been mastered, do not use these immature methods into a large number of orchid seedlings to use. Especially for some rare and valuable varieties, it is most important to ensure the safety of plants.

I. the most routine management of orchids

On this issue, we do not need to introduce them one by one at length, but just make a brief review. Both leaf buds and flower buds belong to the sprouting of orchids. In order to make orchid plants grow more and stronger, we must first have good culture soil suitable for orchid root growth, which is also called orchid plant material. Choosing orchid plant material is the beginning of the success of orchid culture. Many people can not raise orchids well. The problem generally lies here, because the root of orchid is aerial root, which is different from the root of other plants. Therefore, we should choose granular plants that are hydrophobic and breathable, well drained, and rich in a lot of organic matter, and cannot directly use pure horticultural soil for cultivation, or use simple, relatively good-looking culture materials such as orchid stone, ceramsite, and burning soil particles without organic matter. generally use pine chestnut king and gold planting stone at 1:1 for mixed planting, the effect is good, before planting for insurance, to avoid bacterial infection, should be disinfected.

In addition, it should be reasonable and reasonable in the supply of water and fertilizer, the allocation of light, temperature, humidity, ventilation, the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, the selection of flowerpots and the selection of orchid sites.

Second, reasonable division of orchids.

At present, the method of dividing plants in asexual reproduction is often used in the propagation of national orchid. If there are more orchid plants in the basin, the lack of nutrition will inevitably lead to fewer buds and weaker buds. Therefore, the ancients raised orchids with the saying that "if you are very weak, you will be close, and if you are very strong, you will be divided." There are many orchid plants in the basin, so it is necessary to divide them timely and reasonably, which is the most important and basic method to improve the germination rate of orchids.

The false bulb of the sprained orchid

In late autumn or mid-spring, combined with ramet turning, take out the orchid seedlings, hold the middle and upper parts of the two pseudo-phosphorus stems with both hands and twist 90 to 180 degrees in the opposite direction, so that the connecting stems are semi-separated, but can not be completely twisted. The sprain should be timely applied with fungicides to avoid wound infection, and then plant the orchid plant into the basin. In this way, the pseudo-bulbs of the father, father and offspring in the semi-separated state can sprout respectively. However, this method is only suitable for Cymbidium, Cymbidium and Jian Orchid with larger pseudobulbs, while Cymbidium and Chunjian with small pseudobulbs and short connecting stems are not suitable for use.

Use of plant growth regulators

The use of orchid sprouting agent can double the germination rate of new seedlings and old grass, and can produce two to three or even four generations of seedlings a year. However, the buds can grow into mature seedlings only in a particularly superior modern greenhouse, and only strong buds can grow normally in a natural and semi-natural environment. At the same time, because the new grass promoted by hormones has been overdrawn, it can not germinate normally in the second year after introduction and cultivation in the natural environment, and it takes a year to recuperate before it can germinate normally.

Finally, there is another important factor, that is, the thinning of flower buds and buds. In order to make the plants of orchids grow more and stronger, it is necessary to cut the flowers and buds of orchids. Don't covet how spectacular the flowers are. Appropriately reduce the flowering amount of orchid plants, or cut off all the flowers soon after they are unearthed, do not let them blossom, reduce the nutrient consumption of plants, and make them refreshed, which is also an important means to promote orchid beads to plant more seedlings and grow strong seedlings.
