When is the best time to propagate white orchids?

White orchid cutting time

The best time to take cuttings for Magnolia is from May to June, because the temperature environment at this time is more suitable for its growth, especially at a temperature of 20-25℃, when it is easier to take root, has a strong germination ability, and a relatively high survival rate. Cuttings can also be taken in other seasons, but the survival rate is not high.

White orchid cutting method

1. Select branches : Choose branches that are grown this year, strong and free of pests and diseases. Then cut the branches to a length of about 15 cm. Keep the leaves on the upper part and cut off the leaves on the lower part to prevent them from being buried in the soil and causing rot. Let the incision dry slightly.

2. Choose soil : Choose loose and breathable soil. You can use clean perlite or river sand to ensure good drainage. After preparing the soil, spray some water on it to keep it moist, which can promote rooting.

3. Carry out cuttings : Dip the treated branches in some rooting powder, and insert two-thirds of the branches into the soil to ensure that the roots can take root tightly, then compact the soil and water it thoroughly.
