How can you propagate orchids endlessly?
Orchids are elegant and sophisticated plants , with different types to give different scents and colors according to personal taste. They are a beautiful gift for any occasion, but also a plant to have at home to decorate the garden or rooms.
Gardeners decided to reveal a little secret for its endless reproduction. To do this, you will need scissors, an orchid plant that has already bloomed at least once , and a fertilizer that supports growth.
It is also important that the orchid branches are healthy and that the orchid has been treated as best as possible over time. Remember that this plant needs a very humid environment and a lot of water. Most of the time it is recommended to place it in the bathroom – laundry room or kitchen, where the humidity is highest.
It must be provided with daily nutrients and the roots must never come into contact with too much stagnant water to avoid rotting. Once all this is done and the plant is healthy, you can proceed with propagation.
The ingredients and the process
To have endless orchids, just perform a small procedure provided by experts and professionals. Proceed by wearing gloves and using scissors – vertical and not sharp – cut a branch/cutting of the plant.
In a separate container, prepare a substance that will serve as the main nutrient:
- Remove all the sprouts from a potato and place them in a bowl.
- Add a minced garlic clove;
- Mix and add water.
The mixture is then covered and stored in a dark place to macerate for a maximum of one week.
You take the cutting and disinfect the cutting so that it is ready for the whole process. In the meantime, filter the substance with the potato and garlic so that a liquid nutrient is available. The cutting must be soaked in this substance so that it absorbs all the nutrients.
Immediately afterwards, it must be placed in the pot, with soil and earth , where it can multiply in the following weeks.
