When to transplant orchids

Orchid is known as one of the four gentlemen among flowers and is a traditional famous flower in ancient China. It can be propagated by division. When dividing the seedlings, the wounds of the seedlings must be sterilized to prevent hidden dangers in later planting. It is also necessary to choose appropriate flowerpots according to the size of the seedlings. There are certain requirements for planting position and soil depth when planting.

Orchid transplanting time

Orchids can be transplanted throughout the year, but mostly in spring and autumn. Although summer and winter are also possible, they are not the best time. Transplanting in spring and autumn is conducive to plant recovery, reduces plant losses, and allows orchids to quickly enter the growth stage.

How to transplant orchids

When removing the orchid from the pot, be careful to protect its roots, leaf buds, and flower buds from damage. After removing the orchid from the pot, trim the broken roots, rinse the remaining debris on the roots, and clean up some broken leaves. After division, sterilize and seal the wound to prevent pathogens from invading through the wound. Soak the orchid in diluted sterilization solution for half an hour, and finally choose a suitable pot to plant it.

Orchid transplanting care

After transplanting orchids, do not place them in an environment with too strong or too weak light, as this will prolong the acclimatization time. Improper light will also affect the survival of orchids. Before the roots are well grown, they cannot absorb water. A large amount of water evaporation from the leaves will cause problems such as yellowing of leaf tips, sunburn, and slow growth of new roots. The first watering should be thorough. You can water it several times to thoroughly water the planting material and wash off the magazines on it. This way, the roots will fit tightly and it will not be easy for the roots to become empty. Do not water them in large quantities later. Wait until the planting material is dry before watering, and do not rush to fertilize.
