First, it is necessary to master the time of dividing the basin. It is usually carried out in the dormant period after anthesis. Orchids blooming in spring are divided into pots from late September to November or before new buds sprout, while orchids blooming in summer and autumn should be carried out from early to late April.

Second, the roots and leaves should be washed and planted. After the potted soil is fully dried, gently take out the plant, remove the soil, cut off the rotten roots and roots, wash the roots and leaves with clean water, and dry them. After the orchid roots become soft, cut them with scissors at the bulbs with large gaps, and coat the scissors with charcoal powder or sulfur powder (to prevent bacterial infection) before planting.

Third, the seedling roots should be closely connected with the basin soil. When potting, put the plant in the middle of the basin to make the root system distributed evenly. When planting, the new buds will be outward to facilitate growth. Hold the seedling in one hand, fill in the nutritious soil in the other, and shake the flowerpot while filling the soil, so that the root is closely connected with the soil.

Fourth, water thoroughly. Pour water thoroughly after putting on the basin, put it in a place of shelter from the wind and slightly shady and wet, and then properly control the amount of water until the new buds sprout.
