How to propagate orchids by cuttings? How to propagate orchids by cuttings? Can they survive without roots?

1. How to take cuttings

Cuttings are one of the ways for orchids to reproduce. Before cuttings, you should choose plants of good quality and use a sharp blade or scissors to cut the plants at the connection of their pseudobulbs. After separation, make sure that each small clump has 3-5 pseudobulbs that are connected together and have buds. Then insert the bulbs flatly into the soil, making sure there are nodes in the soil so that new buds will grow out. Just take good care of them after germination.

2. Can it survive without roots?

It can survive even if planted without roots.

3. Breeding conditions

1. Soil: Prefers breathable, loose and well-permeable soil.

2. Temperature: The temperature suitable for its rooting is 20-28℃; when the temperature is lower than 20℃ or higher than 28℃, its growth rate will decrease; when the temperature is lower than 10 degrees Celsius, it will enter a dormant state.

3. Humidity: It originally grew in the depths of the forest, and the humidity standard of its living environment is also relatively high. The environmental humidity is best controlled at 60%-70%. Too wet or too dry is not conducive to plant growth. If the environmental humidity and temperature meet its requirements, it will grow very vigorously, the flower bud rate will increase, and the amount of flowering will increase.
