First, obtain the source of seedlings

White orchids can propagate young plants by sowing, cutting, striping and other methods. Here we sow for you, first of all, prepare the fertile, loose and well-drained soil, and the slightly acidic sandy soil is the most suitable. Then soak and sprout the white orchid seeds directly on the culture soil, and finally cover the seeds evenly with a layer of river sand, and then water them once.

2. Seedling transplanting

When the grafted seedlings grow to about 8-10 cm and have more than two true leaves, they can be transplanted into a nutrition basin for normal cultivation. Nutritious soil is mixed with wood chaff, soil and organic fertilizer. When transplanting, first gently pull out the grafted seedling, then soak it in the plant gene activator for about half a day, then plant the young plant into the nutrition basin, pour the fixed root water for the last time, and then place it in a place that can receive astigmatism for maintenance.

3. Seedling cultivation

After transplanting seedlings for 2-3 months, we can gradually increase nutrients by means of fertilization, but liquid fertilizer is generally applied once a week. On the other hand, the truncated watering of seedling cultivation is generally considered according to the weather conditions, and should be watered 2-3 times a day when the weather is dry and hot. If the weather is cool and the humidity is suitable, water can be watered once a day.

4. Grafted young plants

When the young plants are transplanted for half a year, they can be grafted, mostly in the summer of the second year after transplanting. At this time, the young plants have basically grown to a height of more than 30 centimeters, which is very suitable for grafting. Both cutting and bud grafting can be used, which is basically the same as the grafting method of other kinds of seedlings. However, grafting can use robust Magnolia seedlings as rootstocks, so that the grafted seedlings heal faster and are more conducive to survival.

Fifth, pruning modeling

When the young plant grows for 2 years, we can make bonsai for its timely pruning. When trees begin to germinate in spring, with the continuous growth of new shoots and branches, we can timely carry out flat binding treatment according to their growth status, and tie them into a curved state to artificially control the growth height of the trunk. At the same time, let the branches grow according to our expectations, so that it is more in line with the characteristics of bonsai trees. Of course, in the modeling process, we also need to combine pruning means to cut off the branches that are not conducive to modeling and improve the appreciation of bonsai.
