Propagation methods of Orchid Culture

The reproduction of orchids can be divided into two ways: vegetative reproduction and sexual reproduction. Vegetative reproduction includes ramet and tissue culture, and sexual reproduction refers to sowing. In general, the method of ramet is adopted in family planting, which is usually done once every two or three years, and should be carried out in spring and autumn.

At least 5 connected pseudocorms should be preserved in each clump after ramet, and at least 3 leaves on these pseudocorms grow healthily, otherwise don't rush to ramet.

Watering should be reduced before dividing plants to make the basin soil drier. When coming out of the basin, remove the root soil, rinse with clean water, cut off the dead leaves and rotten roots, let them dry for two or three hours, wait for the roots to turn white and wilt, then cut the ramets with a knife, and coat the cut with plant ash or sulfur powder for antisepsis.
