How to propagate tiger skin orchid by cuttings

1. Main parts

For this method, the main part we use is its leaves.

2. Choice of substrate

We all know that this step has a great influence on the survival probability of cuttings. So, in order to increase the success rate, we have to choose relatively loose and breathable soil. Specifically, we can choose a loose soil and mix some sand into it, so that it meets the requirements.

3. Container selection

You can prepare a special container or you can directly plant the cuttings under the original plant. However, for the sake of convenience in the future, it is better to prepare separate flower pots or the like.

4. Formal cutting steps

(1) Select a few fresh leaves from a healthy and strong plant and break them off. Afterwards, you can use them as a whole or cut them into small pieces about six or seven centimeters long. No matter which one you choose, you have to leave them for about a day first. This is done to dry the wound.

(2) The next step is to insert them into the matrix. Insert them carefully, the depth doesn't need to be too deep, about three or four centimeters will be fine. However, don't be too shallow. Otherwise, it will fall over easily and it will be difficult to grow roots.

(3) After completing the above steps, place them in a darker place. Note that the light cannot be too strong. In addition, ventilation must be ensured. Water also needs to be supplied in sufficient quantities to keep the soil in the pot moist. However, too much water is not good, because the newly planted leaves will easily rot.

5. Post-management

Make sure all the conditions are right and just leave it there. We need to be patient enough and wait for it to grow roots. After about a month, it will take root and slowly sprout small buds.
