Can orchids be cut? how to cut?

Orchids can be cut, and cutting is one of the ways to propagate orchids. The main purpose of orchid cutting is to select the stem of excellent orchid plant from the stem node to cut the ramet with scissors at the loose connection of orchid pseudobulb, and each orchid clump should have 3-5 pseudobulbs connected together with bud eyes; then insert the pseudobulb into the plant material to ensure that there are nodes, new buds will grow, and finally carefully cultivate it.

How to propagate orchids? propagation methods / cutting propagation / striping propagation of orchids

Orchid is a kind of highly ornamental flower plant, which can be seen in many areas of our country, and many people choose to raise it at home. With more people raising it, people are more concerned about the reproduction of orchids. How do orchids reproduce? What are the breeding methods of orchids? Next, the editor will take you to learn about it.

First, how to reproduce orchids

About the ball orchid how to reproduce, the more commonly used are cutting propagation and striping propagation two methods, these two methods are out of countless experiments, the survival rate is very high, as for these two propagation methods specific need to do? Next, the editor will take you to learn about it.

Second, the propagation methods of orchids.

Cuttage propagation

1. Cutting time

In the propagation method of orchid, cutting propagation is a relatively simple method, but although simple, the survival rate is very high, in the ball orchid cutting propagation, the choice of the right time is very important. Generally, we can carry out cutting in late summer and early autumn, which can improve the rooting rate.

two。 Cuttings selection

Before cutting, first of all, we need to choose cuttings, that is, the branches of orchids, and it is best to choose cuttings that are robust and disease-free, so that the survival rate will be very high, if we choose branches that look very small, then it will be very difficult to survive.

3. Cutting method

The propagation method of cuttage propagation in orchid is a kind of higher survival rate. Before cutting, we can first use chopsticks to insert a few holes in the basin soil, and then insert the cuttings into the hole to flatten the soil for watering. When watering, pay attention to watering thoroughly, and then it will take root in about 20-30 days.

Striping propagation

1. Crimping time

Compared with cutting propagation, striping propagation is still used in the propagation method of orchid, but the survival rate of this method is not low. Generally speaking, the most suitable season for striping propagation is in late spring and early summer.

two。 Striping method

Before pressing, we can carve the stem nodes slightly, then wrap the water moss in the scratched place, tie it tightly with a thin film outside, and cut off the potted plant after taking root.

How to reproduce orchids, the propagation methods of orchids (cutting propagation is the simplest / rooting in 20 days) 1. How to propagate orchids, cuttings and plantlets

Orchids are relatively valuable species in potted plants. We talked about how to raise orchids before, and now let's see how orchids breed. If you have a pot of orchids at home and want to raise another pot, you must know how to breed orchids. Learning how to breed can make your family's orchids become more than one pot. The most common propagation methods of orchids are cutting and ramet, both of which have high survival rates.

2. Methods of cutting propagation

Cutting is a method of inserting the stem of an orchid plant into the plant, sprouting and rooting at the stem node and growing into a complete plant. Just need normal maintenance, the temperature is above 20 degrees, generally, new buds can grow after 20 days, the success rate is very high.

The advantages are: sufficient breeding materials, large seedling production, fast seedling growth, can maintain the inherent good characteristics of the original variety, and can obtain orchid seedlings which are completely consistent with the genetic characters of the mother plant, which is suitable for large-scale production and small family reproduction. How do orchids reproduce? This is just one of the propagation methods of orchids. Let's take a look at the ramet breeding method.

3. The method of ramet propagation

1. Stop watering 2-4 days before seedling emergence, then dig out part of the basin matrix, gently pat around the basin with your hand, after the matrix in the basin is slightly loose, grasp the false bulb without buds with your hand, slowly and forcefully, take the orchid out of the pot and carefully shake off the matrix in the root mass.

2. Rinse the orchid root with water after seedling emergence, remove the residual matrix, cut off the dead leaves, diseased leaves and rotten roots of the orchid plant, and smear and disinfect the wound of the orchid with 1000 times of 60-80% methyl topiramate wettable powder.

3. Use scissors to cut the ramet where the connection of the pseudobulb of orchid is loose. After the ramet, each orchid clump should have 3-5 pseudobulbs connected and with budding eyes.

4. After ramet, soak and disinfect with 80-1200 times of 60-80% methyl thiophanate wettable powder solution, and then dry (put the orchid plant in a cool place to dry until the root turns white and soft, the drying temperature is 16-20 ℃, the drying time is 1-3 days), ready for use.

5. After disinfection of the transplanting pot, the coarse particles such as bricks and pebbles after disinfection are used to form a cushion layer, and the cushion layer is filled to the height of the basin, 1 hand 3-1 stroke 2, ready for use.

6. Then lay a layer of culture medium on the cushion layer, put the orchid upright on it, adjust the position and height of the orchid plant, put the new plant in the middle of the basin, the old false bulb on one side, and then gradually add the culture medium to fill the root. Until the substrate is covered to the base of the pseudobulb of the plant, this is all the steps of plant propagation. The above is the whole content of how to reproduce orchids and the breeding methods of orchids. I hope I can help you all.
