How to raise orchids and promote new buds

In order for orchids to grow new buds, we can promote the division and growth ability of orchids by adding auxin, or accumulate more nutrients during dormancy, form an environmental temperature difference for orchids, and promote the germination of new buds. Or strengthen water and fertilizer management and ramet reproduction during the growth period.

1. Add auxin

Orchid is a kind of highly ornamental plant flower, if it depends on natural growth, its growth rate will be very slow, when the best, in fact, orchid culture process, irregularly add an appropriate amount of auxin to the pot soil, can mainly promote cell division and growth ability, so that orchids can grow new buds in 1-2 months.

2. Dormant period treatment

If you want the orchid to grow new buds, it is best to accumulate more nutrients during the dormant period, mainly to form an environmental temperature difference for the orchid during the dormant period, and the climate with large temperature difference is conducive to the growth and development of the orchid. When the temperature is high, put the orchid in a cool environment or artificial cooling treatment, which can promote the plant to grow new buds.

3. Strengthen water and fertilizer during the vigorous growth of orchids, watering should not be excessive, mainly with thin water. During spring and summer, water mist can be properly sprayed on the plants to increase the humidity around the plants, and then phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied every 2-3 weeks or so. and it is best to use rotten fertilizer liquid mainly to promote root development.

4. Ramet propagation

In general, in the process of orchid growth, there are many lateral stems around. These lateral stems can be propagated separately, first washed with clean water, then disinfected with an appropriate amount of potassium permanganate solution, and then put into a sand bed with high humidity. New buds will soon grow.
