Breeding skills of Phalaenopsis

1. Pedicel budding

After its flower fails, it is likely to grow seedlings on its pedicels, which will be cut off and planted into new plants. We can accelerate the budding of its pedicels on our own.

First of all, we can remove the finished flowers from the pedicel, disinfect it, and then remove the bracts between the 1st and 3rd nodes to reveal the bud point. After here, use a toothpick to dip an appropriate amount of sprouting agent on its exposed bud point, apply it in a shady place, and control the temperature at 25 to 28 degrees Celsius. Leaflets will grow on its buds in about 15 to 20 days. After about 3 months, it will grow 3 to 4 leaves with roots, and then it can be cut off and planted in a pot.

2. Cut the stem

The main step of this method is to first allow the plant to continue to grow up, and then wait until its stem nodes have grown to a certain extent, then cut off the above parts with roots with sterilized scissors or knives, and then plant them into the pot. for the lower part, we can give it proper management, and after a period of time it will grow new buds. If the plant itself is too long, it can be cut every 2 to 3 nodes or every 2 to 3 centimeters, but make sure it has roots on it, so that it will have a high survival rate if it is planted in a pot.

After understanding the breeding skills of Phalaenopsis, let's take a look at how to preserve Phalaenopsis.

Usually, when raising Phalaenopsis at home, you must understand its growth habits. This plant is native to the tropical rain forest. It likes warmth and is afraid of the cold. It grows best when the external temperature is about 20 degrees. It stops growing when the temperature falls below 10 degrees, and usually it likes a cool environment that is afraid of strong light.

2. Prepare culture soil

Phalaenopsis is a kind of delicate plant, usually it has higher requirements for culture soil when it is cultivated, he likes loose and breathable soil, and can not use a simple original picture when breeding at ordinary times. An appropriate amount of bark and water moss as well as broken bricks and ceramsite should be added to the original picture to prepare nutritious soil.

3. Flowerpot selection
