Phalaenopsis seed germination method

1. Soak in warm water

1. Pick out the mature seeds and disinfect them first. Soaking in warm water is the most commonly used method. Soak the seeds in 30-degree warm water to allow the seeds to fully absorb water and swell, becoming plump and full. This will end dormancy, restore vitality, and facilitate later germination and growth.

2. There is no exact time for soaking. The specific time depends on the hardness of the seed shell. If the shell is relatively hard, the soaking time can be longer. If the shell itself feels detached, the soaking time can be shorter. Generally, it is soaked for about 8-24 hours.

2. Wet wipes germination

1. Prepare a wet wipe and a closed container or a closed plastic bag.

2. Place the seeds on a paper towel, spray them with water regularly to keep them moist, and place them in a sealed container to germinate. Adjusting the surrounding temperature to about 20 degrees can promote rapid germination of seeds.

3. Bury in the soil

Using moist sand to germinate the seeds is also very common. Mix the seeds in moist sand. This method can be applied to a large number of seeds and can be processed in batches. Make sure the sand is moist but not waterlogged, then place it in a warm environment.
