1、 When is the best time for orchids to separate

Orchids are suitable for branching when the root activity is low, that is, after flowering and before germination. At this time, the ramet is not easy to hurt its root system. However, because different varieties of orchids have different flowering time, different varieties of orchids also have different optimal ramet time

2、 How do orchids divide

1. To prepare a new pot, we must first prepare a new pot to divide the orchids. If the plants grow vigorously, you can divide them into several pots and prepare 2-3 new pots. If the plant does not grow very vigorously, you can divide a few pots less and prepare 1-2 new pots. The new flowerpot should have certain air permeability and should not be too large, which is more conducive to the growth of seeds and plants

2. Remove the old plant from the pot: after preparing the new pot, take the old plant out of the original pot and put it into clean water to wash the soil on the root system

3. Dividing: prepare a sterilized scissors and use it to cut the orchid upright from the base of its rhizome. When you see it, cut it along the root system of the plant, and don't hurt its root. It should also be cut evenly to ensure that each sub plant has an equal amount of complete roots, stems and leaves. After cutting, disinfect the cutting mouth with disinfectant

4. Re pot: fill the new pot with soft and breathable new soil, and then plant the seeds into the new pot respectively, and put them in a warm place for slow maintenance until they survive
