Ramet propagation of Cymbidium hybridum

The plants for ramet propagation should generally be strong seedlings planted for 2 ~ 3 years, and the ramet time is generally suitable from March to April or September to October of each year. The substrate required for ramets should be loose and fertile, breathable and drained, free of insect disease and pollution, and avoid heating, drying and waterlogging. The pH value of soil should be between 5.5 and 6.5. Before use, it needs to be exposed to the sun or sterilized with drugs

Ramet steps

Pot removal: tilt the potted Cymbidium for ramet propagation, beat and shake the pot body, so that the plant and substrate gradually come out together. At the same time, pay attention to the protection of leaves and roots

Seedling raising: the ground Cymbidium planted for split propagation shall be lifted out of the ground with tools, and the root and bud points shall not be damaged

Segmentation: find the segmentation point between orchids at the base of the pseudobulb and cut it with a pair of sterilized scissors. There should be at least two Cymbidium plants after branching

Pruning: cut off the dry leaf sheaths on the empty roots, broken roots, rotten roots, dead leaves and pseudobulbs, and cut off the leafless, shriveled and rotten pseudobulbs at the same time

Disinfection: apply sulfur powder or charcoal powder to the trimmed wound for disinfection and dry it properly

Sowing and propagation of Cymbidium

The method of sowing and propagation is mainly applied in the mass propagation of Cymbidium primary species and cross breeding. Cymbidium seeds are very small. Under sterile conditions, the seed germination rate is more than 90%
