Awaken dormant buds

In the cultivation of orchids, new orchids are generally grown from the false bulbs of orchids. In theory, one orchid can grow 6 new seedlings. But in fact, the number of germination is really very small. Many can only germinate one plant, and the rest of the buds are dormant

At this time, we can wake up the dormant buds and sprout more

Moderate ramet to promote new buds

Many times, the roots of orchids do not grow well. This is because the plants are aging, so that the new plants have no nutrients to grow, while the orchids in the top advantage inhibit the growth of other dormant buds. Therefore, it is very useful to divide plants too moderately to make orchids grow more buds and seedlings

Twisted bulb connection

Another traditional method is to twist the junction of orchids in autumn to promote more germination

In spring, take out the orchid plant, hold two false bulbs by hand, twist them in the opposite direction, and then sprinkle powder on them to prevent infection

Plant the orchid plant into the flowerpot again. It won't take long to grow new buds again. The buds are also strong

Use hormones to promote germination

Hormones can promote cell division and growth. If they are used on the panel of orchids, they can promote orchids to grow new buds. If it is well used, it can even grow new seedlings of the second, third and even fourth generations in a year

Extend the growth period appropriately

After a year, orchids generally have two vigorous growth periods: spring and autumn. At the same time, they also have two dormancy. Note that when they are dormant, the plant will stop growing. If we can improve the environment and prolong the growth period of orchids, we can make them germinate more
