How long does it take for tissue culture orchids to adapt to the pot?

Time for tissue culture orchids to adapt to pots

If three months after the tissue culture orchid is potted, the growth momentum is still very good, and the leaves are becoming stronger and stronger, and the color is becoming brighter and brighter, then it means that the orchid has completely adapted to the pot.

If there are buds when the tissue culture orchid is planted, leaves may grow soon. If there are no buds, new leaves may have to wait until autumn or spring of the following year.

Depending on the maintenance and management conditions, it takes about 1-3 months for tissue culture orchids to grow new roots. If the maintenance is good, it will be faster.

Performance of tissue culture orchids acclimatizing

When the new buds of tissue-cultured orchids begin to unfold their leaves and the leaves become upright and strong, they are slowly taking root. Of course, when the leaves of the orchid have begun to photosynthesize to provide nutrients, they have already taken root and adapted to the pot.

How to make cactus adapt to the pot quickly

The old planting material contains microorganisms that are beneficial to the roots of tissue cultured orchids. Mixing the old planting material into the new planting material can make the new planting material quickly reproduce microorganisms that are beneficial to the orchid roots, allowing the orchid roots to adapt to the new environment faster.

How to care for tissue culture orchids during the acclimatization period

Tissue cultured orchid seedlings are afraid of two things: one is high temperature and humidity, and the other is poor ventilation, which causes the moisture in the potting soil to dissipate slowly. Therefore, the environment needs to be ventilated. Now the temperature is not high, so just pay attention to ventilation. After the weather gets cold, move them indoors for maintenance, keep the potting soil dry, and then spray the leaves with moisture to retain moisture.

Watering: Tissue cultured orchids cannot be watered right after they are potted. You have to wait 2-3 days before you can start watering them, but the amount should not be too much.

Fertilization: There is no fixed time limit for when to fertilize a newly potted orchid. It depends on its acclimatization. Fertilizer can be applied as soon as new crystal heads grow.

Sunbathing: In principle, newly potted tissue-cultured orchids should be placed in diffuse light for about 20 days to allow their roots and leaves to recover, and then exposed to the sun after they have adapted to the pot.
