Can the small orchids cut out can be hydroponically cultured?

Hanging orchid, because it can be hung in front of the window or under the eaves can bring good embellishment to the environment and is loved by the majority of basin friends, of course, although it is a hanging orchid, it can be placed directly in the appropriate position. If it is placed indoors, it can not only be used for viewing, but also purify the indoor air. Therefore, hanging orchid is a good choice for indoor potted plants.

Cymbidium can be cultivated not only in soil, but also in water, but young plants can sprout whether in soil or in water, if they are well maintained and managed. However, hydroponic hanging orchids, we need to be careful not to submerge the leaves in water, otherwise it may lead to rotten leaves, but also easy to breed bacteria, thus infecting the plant and destroying its growth.

Even hydroponic orchids will sprout young plants as they continue to grow, and we can wait for an opportunity to separate them for soil culture. When cutting the small plant, the original walking stem does not need to be retained and can be cut close to the rhizome of the plant. So, can the small hanging orchids cut out can be hydroponically cultured? The answer is, of course, yes. So, how does the small orchid come out of the split plant to grow in water?

I. Container selection

In order to achieve the effect of both leaf and root viewing, we first need to choose a transparent glass container, and then choose a suitable vase according to the size of the ramet. Generally choose a glass container with a bottleneck, the hanging orchid can be mounted at the mouth of the container and fixed, or it can not be fixed.

2. Select plants and seedlings

The newborn seedlings are cut from the walking stem of the hydroponic mother plant, and it is recommended to bring aerial roots, which is more conducive to the survival of hydroponic culture. Of course, in addition to cutting and hydroponic culture, young plants germinated by soil culture can also be washed and hydroponically cultured.

III. The process of hydroponics

In the process of hydroponics, the amount of water injected into the orchid should not be too much, and the water level should be strictly controlled. Usually, the water level line should be 1x3-1ax 2 submerged to the roots of Cymbidium, leaving the upper part of the roots in the air, which can ensure that the roots can absorb not only dissolved oxygen but also oxygen in the air, which is more conducive to the growth of hydroponic Cymbidium.

IV. Maintenance and management

For the young plants of hydroponic culture, the fresh water can be changed every 2-3 days at the initial stage of hydroponic culture, and pure water is the best. When the plant germinates new roots and grows to about 3-5 cm, a small amount of nutrient solution can be dropped properly, combined with the change of water. But when changing water, we should trim the roots properly, mainly cut off the rotten roots, and clean the inner wall of the bottle at the same time.

Hydroponic hanging orchids generally only need to provide scattered light, can not let the strong light direct for a long time, nor can it be in a shaded state for a long time. If you encounter the phenomenon of dry leaf tip, it should be cut off in time, and the maintenance management should be strengthened in the later stage.
