    A normal cluster of orchids is composed of three generations: old seedlings (unless they are newly planted brand new strong seedlings), strong seedlings, and new seedlings. They have their own roles in orchid plants, for example, new seedlings are responsible for growing orchid clusters; Strong seedlings are responsible for the flowering of pregnant buds; What about the old seedlings?

    In fact, about whether the old orchid seedlings should be removed, some friends say from the perspective of human beings: Are the elderly in a family a burden to their children? Do they have to abandon them when they are old and have no productive capacity?

    After all, plants and humans are different, and we can't completely use human family relationships to raise orchids.

    Of course, there is some truth in this analogy, the old orchid seedlings used to be strong, and it also gave birth to a new generation of seedlings and fragrant flowers. It's just that as the seedlings get older, their roots, reeds, and leaves gradually lose their ability to work, and they also stop the function of giving birth to offspring.

    At this time, if the old seedlings continue to stay on the orchid plant, it will inevitably take nutrients from the strong seedlings for its own survival. The responsibility of the strong seedlings was originally the first new seedlings and the energy of the buds, but in the face of the energy of the old seedlings, they could not ignore it. It will inevitably lead to the diversion of energy from new seedlings and flower buds, and extreme results may cause stiff seedlings and bud loss.

    From this point of view, the old orchid seedlings are indeed a burden in the growing orchid bushes. So, is it necessary to remove the old seedlings? There are 3 situations that need to be clearly distinguished by orchid friends, if the timing of removal is not right, it is better not to remove it, I give the orchid seedlings to stay, summarized as:

    One stay and two divide. After the orchid is newly planted, there will be three stages: slow seedling stage, potting stage, and survival stage. In the slow seedling stage, you only need to pay attention to not basking in the sun and put it in a cool and ventilated place, and there is no problem in most of them.

    The crux of the failure of many orchid friends to plant orchids is in the potting period. And orchids do not accept pots, many times it is caused by excessive weeding. It is well understood that the root system of the newly planted orchid has not fully recovered its working ability, and the consumption of the orchid plant at this time can only rely on the nutrient storage of the original plant.

    It will still sprout, but try not to cut off all the leaves, just cut off the yellow leaves of those diseased leaves, and leave some leaves for photosynthesis.

    There is a certain probability that it will sprout. Because there is some green in the branch, it indicates that it is not completely withered, but it is alive, and it can recover quickly by adding a little water.

    It's going to sprout. Because the vitality of this plant is relatively tenacious. As long as a comfortable environment is provided, germination can still be achieved.

    Hello, according to your description, in this case, generally speaking, there are some corrosive things watered in the soil, which is harmful to the leaves, so this is the case, and there is also a possibility that there are insects in the soil that gnaw the roots of the leaves.

    First, can it re-sprout? Orchids can germinate again after all the leaves are cut off. If the roots of the orchid are well protected, they can germinate again.

    However, orchids grow well, it is best not to cut off all the leaves, only cut off diseased leaves, dead leaves and orchid leaves that do not grow well. Because cutting off the leaves may reduce the survival rate of the plant. And plant growth not only needs the roots to absorb nutrients, but also the leaves for photosynthesis and respiration.

    If you cut off all the leaves, the orchid will grow extremely slowly. Also, do not allow the trimmed wound to come into contact with water, and the scissors should be sterilized to avoid wound infection. 2. How to prune 1.

    Prune leaves: When orchid leaves grow too thick, cut off weak and old leaves so that the plant has plenty of space to grow and a good ventilation environment. Moreover, it is necessary to cut off the diseased leaves in time to prevent infection of other healthy leaves and affect the health of the plant.

    2.Prune the buds: If you find that there are too many buds, you need to cut them off and leave about two buds.

    This can prevent excessive nutrient consumption and affect the normal flowering and growth of orchids. 3.Prune flower stems:

    Cut off the flower stems in time after flowering to prevent nutrient consumption. Cut off the stems from about 3 cm away from the pot, wait until the remaining stems start to wither, and then continue to cut them to keep the roots growing new stems.

    Orchid leaves can be cut off to re-germinate. If the roots of the orchid are well protected, they can germinate again. However, orchids are in good condition, so it is best not to cut off all the leaves, just cut off diseased leaves, dead leaves, and orchid leaves that are not growing well.

    Because cutting off the leaves may reduce the survival rate of the plant. Moreover, plant growth not only needs the root system to absorb nutrients, but also needs the leaves to carry out photosynthetic tolerance and respiration. If all the leaves are cut off, the orchid will grow very slowly.

    In addition, do not let the pruning wound touch the water, and the scissors should be disinfected to avoid infection of the wound. 1. Prune leaves: When the orchid leaves grow too densely, you need to cut off the weak leaves and old leaves, so that the plant has enough space to grow and has a good ventilation environment.

    Moreover, it is necessary to cut off the diseased leaves and stop the loss in time to prevent infection of other healthy leaves and affect the health of the plant. 2. Prune flower buds: If you find that there are too many flower buds, Changbi needs to cut them off and leave about two flower buds.

    This prevents excessive nutrient depletion and affects the normal flowering and growth of orchids. 3. Prune the flower stems: After flowering, the flower stems need to be cut off in time to prevent nutrient consumption.

    Cut the stems from about 3cm away from the pot, and then continue to cut them when the remaining stems begin to wither, leaving the roots to grow new stems. For more information about can orchid leaves be cut off and re-sprouted, go to see more content.

    Old leaves can be cut off, new leaves should not be cut.

    There are two main reasons for this:

    1. There are too few leaves, and the pots cannot be divided in summer, and the survival rate is too low.

    2. When germinating, leaves are needed to provide the necessary nutrient input and output to the plant, and this process is easy to be hindered after cutting.

    Note: Be sure to cut off wilted and diseased leaves, otherwise it is not conducive to the healthy growth of the plant.

Orchids should be pruned constantly.

Orchids are pruned daily, generally cut off in time when the old leaves are yellow, so as to facilitate ventilation, and the tips of some leaves should also be cut off.
