Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about the topic of orchid seedlings. Orchid seedlings may sound a bit professional, but in fact, just like us humans "separate", orchids also need a proper "separation" to maintain their healthy growth. So, how can we do a good job of sorting orchids?
First of all, we need to clarify the purpose of the seedling. Orchid seedlings can not only help orchids grow better, but also propagate more orchids. Moreover, by separating the seedlings, we can adjust the growth density of the orchid and prevent growth problems caused by overcrowding.
Next, it is the specific operation of seedling. It is best to choose the time of seedling sorting during the dormant period or slow growth period of the orchid, such as spring or autumn. In this way, the orchid can have enough time to resume growth after seedling. Seedlings can be divided directly in the pot, or they can be depotted to divide the seedlings.
In the process of dividing seedlings, we should pay attention to the principle of "strong seedlings bring new". In other words, when dividing seedlings, we should try to bring new shoots to each part. This has the advantage of making the orchid grow more evenly and it is also conducive to the growth of new shoots.
Of course, wounds will inevitably occur in the process of seedling. At this time, we must do a good job in the treatment of wounds to prevent problems caused by wound infection, this step is very important, and novice Lan friends must pay attention to it. In general, we can treat wounds with wound healing agents or air dry parts of the wounds.
In addition, the orchids need to be replanted after seedling. When planting, we should pay attention to choosing the right soil and ensure that the soil is moist. At the same time, the orchid should also be maintained in a well-ventilated place with astigmatism.
It is worth mentioning that it takes some time for the orchids to adapt to the new environment. In this process, we should minimize the disturbance to the orchid, especially frequent repotting and planting materials, and let it grow naturally. Once the orchids have adapted to their new environment, we can proceed with normal conservation work.
In addition, seedling can be a somewhat difficult operation for novices. However, as long as you follow the steps we have mentioned above, I believe you will be able to successfully complete the orchid seedling sorting work. It is important to note that seedling, while important, should not be done too frequently. Too frequent seedling can adversely affect the growth of orchids. Therefore, when we carry out seedling division, we must decide whether we need to divide seedlings according to the growth of orchids.
