Breeding method

Strip propagation

This breeding method is not easy to be in the season of supercooling or overheating, preferably in the rainy season. Put two or three bare branches (preferably vigorous branches with a two-year growth period) together, cut them slightly, and bury them in the soil three or four centimeters deep. It can be separated from the mother column in two months and cultivated separately

Ramet propagation

For ramet propagation, it is best to operate when the pot needs to be changed in spring. The selection of plants with three or five years of age can only be carried out when there are 15 to 20 branches. Be careful when dividing plants. Divide the mother plant into two or three clusters, and at least two or three branches with developed roots are required in each cluster. After sorting, they can be planted in pots, placed in a cool place and watered with water. After 15 days of water application, the breeding will recover its vitality after 15 days

Cutting propagation

When cutting sprouts in spring, the effect of cutting with pot method is very good. Take two flowerpots, one large and one small, and place the smaller flowerpot in the large flowerpot. Put soil between the two pots. Note that if there is a hole at the bottom of the small basin, the hole should be blocked without water leakage, while the large basin needs water leakage. Pour water into the small basin and let the water slowly penetrate into the large basin to keep the soil moist. For branches and leaves, choose stronger branches, preferably new branches born in the same year, which need to be five to seven centimeters long. Cut it from the fork of the branch, remove the leaves below and insert them into the soil. It can take root in about a month

Precautions

Golden corn orchid prefers dark and humid environment, does not like long-term sunlight exposure, and its cold resistance is not strong. If you are breeding in the north, you must use potted plants and move to a warm room in winter. Pay attention to proper watering. Its root system is relatively fragile. You can't water too much and it can't be too dry. Fertilize and fertilize the corn roots in time to prevent them from flowering. In addition, it is best to change the basin once a year in spring, which is conducive to the growth of plants
