A Garden of Orchids In Your Home

Back to the different methods to propagate orchids antenna cuts, root, division, keikis, seeds and tissue cultures. The techniques can be tested using new bulbs, and the Division of keikis. Each orchid propagation method described here can be used in any species of orchids.
Lamp – This method of propagation of orchids is the use of older pseudobulbs, which may or may not have done flourished. Unflowering pseudobulbs are removed when an orchid be repotted. Once they were separated from the healthy plant the bulbs at the time, in conditions that are planted in the ideal environment for farming. The lighting, temperature, bark / soil mixture and fertilizer, all in the correct amount available to bring back to light bulbs to grow and flourish.
Division – This special method of propagating orchids is probably the easiest for all who love orchids and want to expand their current collection of orchids. Also here is the best time to carry out this process if the orchid and replanted at the beginning of a growing season. Before sharing your orchid, you first need a new outbreak in each pseudobulbs, and everyone should have at least three divisions pseudobulbs.
The process of dividing your orchid is easy. With a sharp knife or scissors to cut a business unit of the Orchid (remember, everyone should have a new outbreak). Take the “new” species of orchid and as usual, then the plant “old” orchids with the same steps. There is also a good idea, the orchids in a dark room environment for several weeks for your orchids to recover a slower, healthier.
Keikis – keikis Another way to think, as descendants. Keikis have their own roots, stem and bulb. The best time for orchids reproduced with keikis, if their roots are about three inches long. If separated from the “mother”, be careful not to break one of the roots of two plants. Once planted, place the orchid in a new area darker and colder and keep it slightly damp. If you have an orchid that you love children, then they have spread, is a necessity. Be patient, you have your supplies and distribution list!
