How to propagate Phalaenopsis seedlings

1. Flower stalk germination propagation method

① Cut off the pedicels: first cut off the flowers, and then use a sterilized blade to remove the bracts between the first and third nodes at the top of the pedicels, leaving the buds between the nodes exposed.

② Apply hormones: Use a cotton swab to evenly apply germination agents or hormones such as indolebutyric acid on the exposed internode buds.

③ Growing leaves: Place the coated plants in a semi-sheltered place and maintain the optimum temperature of 25-28°C. After 2-3 weeks, the buds will grow leaves, and after 3 months, they will grow into Phalaenopsis seedlings.

④Cut off the seedlings: Finally, plant the grown seedlings in a pot to get a new plant.

2. Heart-breaking germination method

① Pinching: First, cut off the highest heart leaf at the top to destroy the growth point on the stem tip so that it cannot continue to grow.

② Disinfection: After the wound is dried, use a suitable disinfectant to apply to the node. New buds will grow after 2-3 weeks.

Cut and plant: After the new sprouts grow up, cut the grown seedlings and plant them to get a new plant.

3. Stem cutting propagation method

① Pinching: Use a sterilized blade to cut off the top of the plant.

② Cut the stem: Give the part of the rhizome left at the lower end an appropriate amount of water, and 1-3 young shoots will soon sprout.
