Propagation methods of Phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis is a plant growing in subtropical areas, it still belongs to a kind of orchid, and Phalaenopsis has a very special organ, that is its air root, its air root is longer and thicker, and most of it is exposed. Air root can help Phalaenopsis absorb nutrients in the air and carry out photosynthesis, so it can be said that air root is a very important organ. Now more and more people breed Phalaenopsis, so what about the reproduction of Phalaenopsis? Next, Shuai Shuai will tell you about the breeding method of Phalaenopsis.

Here we introduce the method of sowing and breeding, taking the method of sowing and breeding as an example.

1. Matrix container

Phalaenopsis is a kind of plant growing on tree trunk or rock, and it is an epiphytic plant. Its cultivation should choose water moss, tree fern root, bark, coconut shell and ceramsite as the best substrate, rather than general topsoil and garden soil. If there are no conditions, you can fix the seedlings on charcoal and let them grow on their own. Containers can choose containers made of bamboo. You can also choose ceramic pots with many holes, and it is best not to use general plastic pots, which is very disadvantageous to its growth, because it is an epiphytic plant. After planting, do not let its air root be placed on the ground, but hang it on the shelf. This can help the gas root to carry out photosynthesis.

2. Seedling propagation

Phalaenopsis is a uniaxial orchid species, so it has only one trunk stem and only one growth point. Tissue culture and pedicel bud propagation are commonly used. If it is large-scale reproduction, tissue culture and aseptic sowing can be used. Ramet propagation is not good at large-scale reproduction, but it is more used for small-scale and family reproduction, and ramet is relatively simple. however, the seedling rate of ramets is much lower than that of the other kinds of plants. the specific method is to cut off with scissors except 14 internodes after flower withering and falling. Then wrap the internodes of the above 13 articles, then cut them off, then dip them in rooting powder and smear them on the exposed internodes, then put them in a semi-shaded place after treatment, control the temperature of their growth, and see their germination in about two weeks.

3. Cultivation and management

Keep the introduced tissue culture bottle seedling on a flower rack, then let it cool in the natural environment for a few days, let it adapt to the environment, then take it out of the bottle, soak it in carbendazim solution for 3 to 3 minutes, then fish it out and wash it with water, wash the root on the culture medium with a short brush, and then rinse it off with clean water, otherwise it will rot and plant the seedling with finer water moss. The water moss should be soaked for about three hours before sterilization before it can be used. Wrap the roots of the seedlings with water moss, and then plant them in a suitable soft basin. The tightness of the water moss should be appropriate, keep the relative humidity at 80%, and plant for about 2 days.

The above is the introduction of the breeding methods of Phalaenopsis. Have you learned it? Phalaenopsis also has a very common breeding method for pedicel budding reproduction, this method is also very good, if you want to know, you can also consult on this site, I hope this article can help you.
