1. When is the best time to divide orchids?It is suitable to divide orchids when the root activity is low, that is, during the period after flowering and before sprouting. It is not easy to damage its root system by dividing the plant at this time. However, because different varieties of orchids bloom at different times, different varieties of orchids also have different optimal division times. 2. How to divide orchids1. Prepare new pots. To divide orchids, you must first prepare new pots. If the plant grows vigorously, you can divide it into several pots and prepare 2-3 new pots. If the plant is not growing very vigorously, you can divide it into fewer pots and prepare 1-2 new pots. The new flowerpot should have a certain degree of air permeability and should not be too large, so as to be more conducive to the growth of the seedlings. 2. Remove the old plant from the pot: After preparing the new pot, take the old plant out of the original pot and put it in clean water to wash the dirt off the roots. 3. To divide the orchid: prepare a pair of sterilized scissors and use it to cut the orchid vertically from the base of the rhizome. When you see it, cut along the root system of the plant and don't damage its roots. They should also be pruned evenly to ensure that each sub-plant has an equal amount of complete roots, stems and leaves. After cutting, disinfect the cut ends with disinfectant. 4. Re-potting: Fill the new pot with soft, breathable new soil, then plant the sub-plants in the new pots respectively, place them in a warm place and slowly care for them until they survive. |
