Sow

It can self pollinate, but the seeds are easy to scatter, so it should be harvested in batches in time. Due to the small seeds of houmianlan, it is usually sown in autumn in greenhouse. The seedlings are raised in flat plate or hole plate. The seeds do not need to be covered with soil. They should be fully exposed to light after sowing. Generally, the seedlings emerge in about 25 days

Don't water too often during the seedling period, just keep the substrate moist. At the same time, the fungicide is sprayed once a week. When 2-3 real leaves grow, they need to be transplanted once. When the seedling height is more than 10 cm, it should be planted in the flower pot. The seeded seedlings can blossom in 1-2 years. Seedlings have poor resistance. Once there is too much water, they are prone to disease and cause stem and root rot

Ramet

Ramets are generally carried out before the germination of new buds in early spring. First take out the mother plant from the flower pot, remove the excess matrix, separate the tangled root system as far as possible, and cut it from the stem base with a sharp knife. Each new plant should keep two or more plants with certain root systems, and apply a brush dipped in sulfur yellow powder or carbendazim powder on the wound to prevent the wound from infecting bacteria. New plants can be divided after flowering that year

Aseptic reproduction

Aseptic sowing before the capsule is about to mature is the best. The sowing medium can be 1 / 2ms + 10% coconut juice or banana juice 50g / L + milk protein 2G / L + sucrose 20-30g / L + agar 8g / L. light green expanded embryos can be seen 15 days after sowing. When protocorms with a diameter of about 2mm are formed in 50-60 days, they can be transferred to MS + ba1mg / L medium and grow into seedlings with 2-3 leaves in 50-60 days. Then transferred to the rooting medium, and cultivated in a bottle when it grows into a complete plant in about 60 days

Of course, this method is not suitable for ordinary orchid lovers
