Attention

Phalaenopsis is a kind of epiphytic uniaxial orchid. Wild Phalaenopsis grows on rocks and tree trunks with aerial roots. It is a very tenacious plant. Phalaenopsis seedling propagation is often used in pedicel sprouting reproduction, so how to reproduce seedlings? In fact, you can directly use pedicel sprouting method, stem-cutting breeding method, and even broken heart budding method, let's have a look!

1. Phalaenopsis pedicel accelerates bud and propagates seedlings.

1. Cut off the pedicel

Phalaenopsis pedicel bud propagation method is very simple, the survival rate of breeding method is also very high. During the operation, cut the flowers with sterilized scissors, and then cut off the bracts between the 1st and 3rd nodes at the end of the pedicel. It should be noted that when removing it, we must pay attention to exposing the bud spots in the Phalaenopsis internodes.

2. Erase auxin

If you want Phalaenopsis to reproduce seedlings as soon as possible, you must make a fuss on the sprouts cut out, and it is best to apply a little auxin to help them grow seedlings as soon as possible. Auxin is best to use a budding agent or a hormone such as indole butyric acid, dip it gently with a cotton swab and apply it evenly on the bud point.

3. Conservation of the environment

If you want to know how Phalaenopsis produces seedlings, the most important thing is to protect the environment. Put the Phalaenopsis which has been smeared with auxin in a cool environment to keep the plant semi-shaded and the temperature should be controlled between 25 and 28 ℃. Then watered and maintained normally, after waiting for 15 to 20 days, the seedling leaves will grow out from the bud point, and after 3 months, the seedlings will grow into seedlings, and then the seedlings can be planted in a new pot.

Second, Phalaenopsis stem cutting breeding method

1. Cut out the branches and stems

If it is the easiest way for Phalaenopsis to reproduce seedlings, it must be this method of stem-cutting propagation of Phalaenopsis. It is very easy to operate, as long as you choose the branches of a Phalaenopsis plant and try to choose healthy, stout branches and buds. Then the upper end of the plant is removed directly with sterilized scissors. It's like picking the heart.

2. Sprouting by cutting stems

Generally speaking, the branch bud at the top of the cut is no longer useful, and the cut branch part is the key to the germination of Phalaenopsis. Will leave the lower part of the stem branch fine maintenance, adequate watering maintenance, but be careful not to apply fertilizer. As long as you take good care of it and wait for 1-2 weeks, you can quickly sprout 1-3 buds, and when the buds grow into seedlings, you can cut them off and plant them in a new pot.

Third, Phalaenopsis broken heart to accelerate budding and reproduction.

1. Trim and pick the heart

Phalaenopsis broken heart to promote bud reproduction is also a very simple way to reproduce seedlings, only need to find the tallest flower branch above the Phalaenopsis plant, and cut off the highest heart leaves on the stem with sterilized scissors. This is actually the same as picking the heart, in order to prevent the branches and leaves from growing upward and destroy the growth point on the stem tip in order to produce buds.

2. Treatment of incisions

There is a lot of juice in the stems and branches of Phalaenopsis, so we try to put the potted plants in a cool environment and dry the cut. Then apply the suitable disinfectant, carbendazim or potassium permanganate solution to the branch bud cut, and gently dip it into the incision position with a cotton swab. Finally, after careful maintenance according to the usual amount of water, after waiting for 2-3 weeks, new buds will slowly grow out, and after they grow into seedlings, they can be cut off and replanted.

IV. matters needing attention in propagation of Phalaenopsis seedlings

1. Breeding time

The time for Phalaenopsis to reproduce seedlings is usually in its growing period, also in April to May in spring. At this time, the climate is warm, which is conducive to the growth of Phalaenopsis, and the bud will grow faster after shearing. Also note that you must choose a sunny day, not in the rainy season.

2. Do not apply fertilizer

Because Phalaenopsis needs to be fertilized during its growing period, many people also apply fertilizer when reproducing seedlings, but in fact, this is wrong, it will hurt the plants. As long as the appropriate amount of watering and maintenance, fertilization must wait until the plant has grown leaves, do not fertilize when the incision has not been restored.

Conclusion: through the introduction above, I believe we already understand how Phalaenopsis propagates seedlings. In fact, pedicel sprouting method, stem-cutting breeding method, and broken heart budding method are all very simple. Flower friends who like can try it on their own.
