Before burying the orchid bulb, prepare a soil that is loose and permeable, water and fertilizer, and rich in humus. Wash the corm and place it in scattered light for 2-3 hours, then soak it with rooting agent solution or acetylsalicylic acid solution for one hour, then plant it in the soil after drying, and sprout small lateral buds about two months later.

Tibetan method

First, prepare the soil

Orchids like to grow in soils that are loose and permeable, water and fertilizer, and rich in humus. Generally speaking, the soil chooses humus as the main choice, humus soil or mountain humus soil. Therefore, two portions of rotten leaf soil, two portions of vermiculite and one part of perlite can be evenly mixed.

Second, corm treatment

Wash the orchid bulb and place it in a scattered light environment for 2-3 hours, then soak it in rooting agent solution or acetylsalicylic acid tablet solution for one hour, then remove it and place it in a ventilated environment to dry. Fill the soil into the flowerpot and disinfect and sterilize it comprehensively.

3. Planting soil

After drying, the orchid bulbs were planted in the soil to keep the soil moist, and the culture flowerpots were placed in a well-ventilated and cool place for maintenance. After about two months, the small lateral buds will sprout, and when the small lateral buds grow to 5-6cm, new roots can sprout at the bottom of the corm.
