The propagation technology of orchid seeds, which soil is the best to cultivate?

When planting orchids, prepare breathable pots of soil and take the seeds out of the fruit. Soak the seeds in sodium chlorate, wash them with clean water, and then plant them in the prepared soil. Finally, cover the seeds with soil and wait for them to take root after watering. Reproduction can also be used to separate plants, the soil should try to choose acidic and good air permeability.

I. planting methods

1. Prepare potted soil: the first step before planting is to prepare breathable flowerpots and loose and clean soil. The soil can be mixed with peat soil, coarse sand, cinder and sandy loam. it is best to sterilize it before use.

2. Treat the seeds: before sowing, sterilize the uncracked fruits with alcohol, then take out the seeds, and then soak the seeds in sodium chlorate for 5-10 minutes. After soaking, take it out and rinse it in clean water, which can reduce the growth of weeds and is more conducive to seed germination.

3. Start planting: put the treated seed in the soil, cover it with a layer of 3 centimeters of soil, then water it once, then place it in a room with a temperature of 25 ℃ and wait for it to take root and sprout.

II. Methods of reproduction

In addition to the method of sowing, the method of dividing plants can also be used. Ramets can be carried out as long as the growth condition is good and the pseudocorms are relatively dense. Usually five pseudobulbs are connected into a clump, prepare clean sandy loam, and each clump can be boiled. After putting on the basin, it should be watered thoroughly and put in a semi-overcast environment, and it will take root in about half a month.

III. Soil selection

When growing orchids, it is best to use professional soil, which can be purchased directly from the nearby flower market. If it is family farming, it is also good to prepare the soil by yourself, but it should meet the requirements of air permeability, acidity and strong drainage capacity, which will help orchids grow more healthily in the later stage.
