After the orchid seed blossoms, collect the seeds and reproduce a lot in the coming year. Orchid seeds generally have a longer maturity period and usually take 7 to 9 months to mature after pollination. Then how to collect the seeds of Cymbidium? Let's know: when the skin of the fruit changes from green to red or maroon, press it with your hand. If the fruit begins to soften, the peel and the seed have begun to separate, indicating that the seed is ripe and it is time for harvest. At this time, the fruit can be picked, the seeds can be peeled out, and the fully ripe seeds can be sown as they are picked. If the seeds are not sown immediately, when harvesting the seeds, the fruit and the arrow should be cut off with a knife and hung in a cool and ventilated place. After 10-20 days, the seeds can be stripped off and ready to sow. In fact, generally do not wait for the orchid fruit to turn red, when the orchid fruit grows to the size of garlic, as long as the fruit skin turns white-green, gently pinch with your hands, the fruit is hard and rustles. Tie up the cut ears, hang them up and place them in a ventilated and transparent place. After 10 to 15 days of ripening, the seeds can be peeled off. Pick out the good seeds with full growth and crystal light, and throw the rest away. Selected seeds can be used to sow seeds. This kind of seed has stronger vigor and higher germination rate. Generally, the peeled seeds will be sown within 2-3 days. After storage, the germination rate of orchid seeds decreased significantly. If the seeds cannot be sown in time, the seeds should be sealed in plastic bags, placed in a dry and ventilated place and stored under the condition of 4: 10 ℃. Because the seeds of Cymbidium can not be dried and contain more water, they should be checked regularly during storage to prevent deterioration.
