1. Can orchids be divided into two parts?Orchids can be grown by dividing them into pieces. Generally speaking, a pot of orchid with good growth and lush branches and leaves can be divided into 3-4 plants at a time. However, orchids that do not grow well and whose branches and leaves are not very lush are not suitable for division. It is recommended to divide orchids after they bloom and before new buds grow. At this time, its root system is less active and it is not easy to damage the root system by dividing the plants. 2. What should I pay attention to when dividing orchids?1. Keep warm: Orchids are suitable for division in a warm environment, and the sub-plants should also be kept in a warm environment after division. This can protect its root system, prevent it from freezing, and allow the sub-plants to adapt to the new growing environment more quickly. 2. Wash and prune the roots: After removing the orchid from the pot, you need to clean the soil on its roots and use scissors to cut off the rotten roots and old roots. These roots are not beneficial to the growth of the sub-plants and do not need to be retained. 3. Disinfection: After division, it is best to disinfect each sub-plant. This can ensure that the wound is not infected by bacteria, thus preventing them from growing poorly due to infection after being potted. 4. Even distribution: When cutting, pay attention to evenly distributing the roots so that each sub-plant has a certain amount of complete roots. The root system is the organ that allows the seedlings to absorb nutrients and water from the soil. Without a complete root system, it will be difficult for the seedlings to survive. |
