The orquídeas, with their impressive beauty, their very appreciated flowers. You can only enjoy our flowers every year, but you also have the fascinating option of spreading and observing the growth of more small flowers.

There are various techniques effective for the propagation of orchids, which allow continued reproduction of these plants.

A common method is the propagation between esquejes or keiki. Profundicemos en cómo se hace esto.

Propagate orquideas using Keiki  A keiki is a young plant that emerges from the height of an orquídea and presents an excellent opportunity for propagation. This new plant is a clone of the mother, resulting from asexual reproduction. Los Keikis can arise in a natural way, but they can also favor their desarrollo. As it is:

To encourage the growth of the orchids  After the flowering, record the size of the flower of the orchid lightly from the beginning of the base. Expand with the area of ​​the “node” until the air is gently pressed. This exposure can stimulate the emergence of a keiki.

Planting a Keiki  If the roots of a keiki are between 4 and 5 centimeters wide, this is a list for replanting. Collóquelo en el mismo recipiente que la orquídea madre para guarantar la condiciones de crecimiento y niveles de humedad adidenticos.

Separate the keiki from one to another 3-5 centimeters from the height of the flor and plants next to the mother plant. Make sure that the roots have been removed and are lightly covered by the ground. Furthermore, the entire length of the recorded flower is anchored to the one.

Once you have left the plant, you can separate it from the nature of the plant.

Propagation of orchids by esquejes  To propagate by tall esquejes, prepare a waterproof bandage of about 8 centimeters of depth. Rellenelo con arena humedecida o musgo Sphagnum.

Cut a length of 30 centimeters from the mother’s orquídea with a sharpened cuchillo. Córtelo en varios trozos de 3 pulgadas, cada uno con un cogollo inactivo. Conference musgo or arena humedecido in the band and conference los esquejes sobre ella. Cube in plastic and maintain at 15°C with direct light. After a few weeks, increase the temperature to 24-30 degrees, ensuring that the humidity remains constant (but not too much mojada). When you can see brotes and roots, you can cut the edges. Prepare small macetas with a mixture of corteza, volcanic tier and Sphagnum humedecido musk. Plant las orquídeas con los brotes hacia arriba. Conference on orquideas recién propagadas en un área Brillante y con luz indirecta solar. Leave regularly, avoiding excess to avoid it. Maintain a humid environment for the plants, maintaining direct heat sources.

Through these methods, you can propagate orchids with your favorites and enjoy a collection of some of the most exquisite plants.
