When should orchids be divided into pots?

The flowers and leaves of orchids are beautiful, the leaves are elegant, the flowers are fragrant, and the whole plant is elegant and high-end with unique charm, so many people like to grow an orchid at home.

When you grow orchids in spring, you hope they will grow more new buds and bloom more. However, for some people who have been growing orchids for many years, there is one important thing that must be done well in spring, which is repotting and dividing the plants, so that your orchids can be changed in one pot.

Dividing orchids is something that every orchid lover needs to do, and it is also the main way of orchid propagation. So under what circumstances do orchids need to be divided?

1. After about two years of maintenance, a pot of orchid will grow many shoots.

2. A pot of orchids grows to a full pot and can no longer bloom

Both situations require division. It should be noted that one-year-old orchid seedlings do not need to be divided because their root system is fragile. Forced division will cause great trauma, susceptibility to infection, and low survival rate .

When is the best time to repot orchids?

The best time to divide orchids into pots is " about 10 days before the spring equinox, or about 10 days after the white dew in autumn."

  With the continuous exploration and innovation of modern orchid cultivation techniques, the technical level of orchid cultivation has been improved. People can determine the best time to divide the pots based on the temperature in the orchid cultivation environment and the growth and development laws of orchids.

Based on maintenance experience, repotting now is the best time to help orchids adapt to the pot quickly and facilitate the germination of orchid seedlings.

Of course, if the orchids we are raising are divided into pots according to the temperature, I think as long as the ambient temperature of the orchid is between 8 and 26 degrees Celsius, the orchids can be planted in separate pots.

However, the more suitable temperature should be when the minimum temperature in early spring is above 8℃ and the maximum temperature in late autumn does not exceed 26℃, which is most suitable for potting .

Some orchid lovers like to divide the pots according to the growth patterns of orchids. They believe that no matter what kind of orchid it is, the best time to divide the pots and plant the orchid is after it blooms.

Because orchids accumulate a lot of nutrients when they bloom, they will supply the excess nutrients to the buds after blooming. At this time, the seedling division operation is more conducive to the growth of the buds.

This is also the experience that orchid lovers have summed up from practice. Therefore, the best time to divide orchids is to avoid extreme heat and cold.

In short, it is easier to divide orchids into pots based on temperature, and it breaks through the limitations of solar terms. As long as the temperature of the small environment for growing orchids meets the requirements, we can divide orchids into pots and plant them all year round .
