What should I do if the orchid sprouts but does not grow? How can I make it grow strong sprouts?

1. Solution

1. Watering in moderation: After germination, the water requirements are more stringent. It cannot be dry or low, or unevenly dry or flooded, otherwise the mother plant will not be able to keep up with the water, thus affecting the growth of new buds. It is best to place it in a high place to facilitate drainage and keep the soil moist in the later stage.

2. Reduce fertilization: There is no need to apply excessive fertilizer during this period, and you can even stop fertilizing. Wait until the small buds open before applying the solution, otherwise not only will it not be absorbed, it may also affect the growth of new buds. When fertilizing, it is best to apply a special nutrient solution, or diluted fertilizer is also fine, so that the roots can grow stronger and promote the growth of new shoots.

3. Cannot be moved: When caring for the plant, if you move it repeatedly or turn the soil excitedly after seeing the buds sprout, it will affect its growth and even cause bud stiffness. Therefore, it is best not to move it frequently at this time to avoid affecting its growth due to lack of adaptation to light and humidity.

2. Methods of sprouting

If you want the orchid to grow stronger buds, you can add aspirin tablets to the water when watering. This can improve its immunity and germination rate, and also facilitate the growth of new roots. In addition, you can also dilute vitamin B12 with water and spray the leaves. This will not only enhance immunity, but also have the effect of rooting and promoting buds, and the flowers will also be more beautiful.
