How to raise seedlings of Monarch Orchid? How to breed Gentleman s Orchid

In fact, the reproduction of the orchid can also be completed by seeds, and the seeds are hidden in the fruit of the orchid, so how to breed the orchid?

1. Seed collection. It is the process of picking fruits. There is also a trick to picking, the growth of the fruit is a stage from green to red, and we pick the fruit that has turned red.

Don't go to the next step immediately after picking the fruit, we should give the fruit a period of "gestation", about 30 days, which can help the peel soften and fall off more easily, laying a good foundation for the next step.

2. Wash seeds. Because of the "gestation period", when the fruit is rinsed, the peel will fall off more easily, and what remains is the seed that we want to use. It should be noted that do not use sharp tools during the cleaning process, otherwise it will hurt the seeds and affect the growth effect.

3. Bubble seeds. The process of soaking seeds is actually similar to the step of soaking rooting water before propagation by cuttings. We need to soak the seeds of Monarch Orchid with potassium permanganate solution for more than ten minutes, and then soak it in rooting water for about 2 hours, in order to make the seeds take root and germinate better and faster.

4. Seedbed. When we propagate by cuttings, we will prepare loose soil as a substrate, and when we sow and propagate, we will give preference to using wood chips as a seedbed for Monarch Orchid. Wood chips are loose, breathable, and very suitable for seed development, and it has been shown that the germination rate of seedbeds using wood chips is 7 percentage points higher than that of ordinary seedbeds.

5. Sowing. One of the most important steps is to sow the seeds, we only need to sow the processed seeds in the wood chip seedbed and then cover it with a layer of wood chips. With proper maintenance, it can germinate in about 7 days, and the growth is quite rapid.

Seed breeding method is a method often used by many flower lovers who specialize in cultivating Junzi orchid, so if you are interested, you may wish to try it. But first of all, let the Gentleman's Orchid grow fruits!

This plant can be propagated by sowing seeds and dividing plants.

If you want to propagate the orchid by sowing seeds, you can cancel its fruit when its fruit is ripe every autumn, take out the seeds inside, put the beam to dig in a cool place, dry it for 3 to 5 days, and then soak and germinate, and after the germination is successful, let it grow into a seedling, and plant it directly into a pot.

Compared with sowing propagation, the ramification propagation method of Junzi Orchid is relatively simple, and the survival rate is particularly high, it can be carried out at any time throughout the year, as long as the propagation is successful, it can make Junzi Orchid grow rapidly, so it is best for people to choose the way of ramification and propagation if people want to breed Junzi Orchid.

It is best to wait for her sturdy mother plant to grow fresh buds next to it, and the buds will grow three to four leaves before dividing, and prepare the necessary tools for dividing, such as sharp knives, disinfectant, new pots and suitable potting soil.

Breeding methods and techniques of Gentleman's Orchid

1. When the junzi orchid is propagated by branches, it should be dug out of the flower pot oak edge, and then cut a square along the perimeter of the small plant with a sharp utility knife, and disinfect the incised side with disinfectant. At this point, the small plant and the mother plant have been successfully separated.

2. Put the prepared culture soil in the new flower pot, and then plant the piglets directly in the flower pot, and water enough water, then you can put it in a cool and ventilated place to return the seedlings, and then move it to the environment with scattered light after the small plant grows new roots and young leaves.

Put the seeds of the orchid into the river sand for seedlings to be raised, keep the potting soil slightly moist, and it will grow small seedlings in about a month.

For the seedlings of Junzi orchid, we can choose relatively fine river sand, clean and disinfect the river sand, and then put it into a container, and then plant the sprouts of the seeds downward, neatly arranged into the river sand, and cover with a thin layer of sand, and finally water appropriately to keep the soil slightly moist.

You can also choose white pine, forged wood, or hard miscellaneous sawdust to raise seedlings, clean the sawdust, put it in a container, flatten the seeds and plant them, the planting method is the same as the river sand seedling method, using this method, you can ensure that the substrate is loose and breathable, and it will emerge a little faster than the river sand seedlings.

We can also choose the pine needles of larch, soak them to make them watery and clean, put them in the utensils, flatten them, and then plant the seeds to raise the seedlings, and then keep the pine needles in a state that is not dry or wet, using this method, its emergence rate will be much higher, and the seeds are not easy to rot.

Conservation of the Gentleman's Orchid

1. Use soil. The native habitat of the orchid is under large trees in the high-altitude forests of southern Africa, and its roots are rooted in a layer of decay that has accumulated over many years. Loose and fertile neutral or weakly acidic humus soil should be used for the cultivation of Junzi Orchid, and the cultivation soil can be mixed with 65% humus soil, 20% clean sand and 15% fine furnace yard ash.

2. Fertilization. Solid fertilizer should be applied once in winter, less nitrogen fertilizer, and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Egg shell powder and cooked fishy water are good phosphate fertilizers, and bran ash and soot are easy to obtain potassium fertilizers.

3. Watering. The soil should not be too dry or too wet, and must be watered thoroughly every time, and more water after the buds. It can be combined with watering and fertilizing every 20 days or so, combined with watering and applying fermented soybean cake water, light fishy water and horseshoe water.

When the room temperature is low, the watering should be controlled to prevent the potting soil from being too wet, which will cause the plant to rot and die, but it should not make the potting soil too dry.
