How to propagate the dragon beard orchid

1. Time

Spring and autumn.

2. Methods

This plant is usually grown by cuttings. Select branches that are growing well and are not sick, cut them and insert them directly into the sand, leaving a certain distance between each plant.

3. Notes

(1) Before cutting, soak the sand and pot together with water, and wait until there is no water droplets dripping from the drainage holes at the bottom before cutting.

(2) After cutting, place it in a semi-shaded place, and do not place it in the sun.

(3) The soil in the pot should be kept moist, and the air should also have a certain degree of moisture. If you cannot ensure a humid environment, you can also wrap it with plastic film. Open the film during the day and spray some mist on the surface of the sand to allow it to breathe, and then wrap it again at night.

(4) The temperature should be controlled at around 25 degrees, so that new roots and sprouts can grow in about 20 days. When the new roots or sprouts have grown for a period of time, they can be transplanted.

4. Maintenance after planting

When applying fertilizer, be sure to avoid getting the roots and leaves contaminated by the fertilizer.

Don't let the soil become too dry, but don't allow water to accumulate. It's best to put the water in the sun before watering.

After planting, it is necessary to give it appropriate sunlight, otherwise it will grow poorly, especially its leaves will become as thin and brittle as paper. Appropriate sunlight will make it look more vibrant.
