How to propagate Phalaenopsis using flower swords

1. Cut the flower stalks

Normally, we wait until the flowers fade and then small seedlings will grow between the internodes of the pedicels for reproduction, but natural growth is not ideal. The survival rate will be higher if artificial germination is used. After the flower stalk grows, cut off the pedicel and flowering part, then use a blade to cut off the bracts between the first to third nodes to expose the buds. Be careful not to hurt yourself or the plant.

2. Apply germination agent

After the buds appear, apply the germination agent on them. Use a cotton swab to apply it carefully and evenly. This will be more conducive to germination. After applying, place it in a semi-shaded place, away from strong light, and pay attention to ventilation.

3. Careful maintenance

When germinating artificially, careful care must be taken. If the environment is not suitable, even timely human intervention will not lead to successful reproduction. After applying the germination agent, the temperature must be controlled between 25 and 28 degrees. It should not be too high or too low. In this way, leaves will grow in about 20 days, and aerial roots will be seen after March. After the growth is stable, it can be transplanted again.
