Preparation before sowing

Determine whether the pod is empty. If it is empty, there can be no seedlings

Determine the degree of seed activity. Generally speaking, the activity of Phalaenopsis seeds is 11%

Sowing method

Natural seeding method

The cracked seeds were sown in the flowerpot of the parent plant. There are symbiotic bacteria necessary for Phalaenopsis seed germination in the plant material of the parent plant, but whether the existence of this symbiotic bacteria can make the seed germinate depends on luck

The natural sowing method is very simple and suitable for family Phalaenopsis planting. However, the success of this method is very small. Xiaobian does not recommend that you use this method to reproduce Phalaenopsis

Aseptic seeding method

First, wash the unravelled and mature capsule and put it in place

Put it in the prepared 75% ~ 90% ethanol or chloroform solution and soak it for 2 ~ 3 seconds. It can't be too much or too little

After this step is completed, we can soak it with 5% ~ 10% bleach solution or 3% hydrogen peroxide for 5 ~ 20 minutes

Take out the seeds and soak them in the same sterilized water for another 5 ~ 20 minutes

After that, we can use the filtration method, use a professional filter to remove the solution we use to soak, then take out the seeds, and finally evenly spread the seeds on the surface of the prepared medium. Remember to use a fine needle. After all, the seeds of Phalaenopsis are very small

Culture conditions: light intensity: 2000 ~ 3000 lux. Illumination time: 10 ~ 18 hours, temperature: 20 ~ 26 ℃

After 9 ~ 10 months, the seedlings grow 2 ~ 3 leaves and can be planted in pots

This method is very rigorous and scientific. It is generally carried out in the laboratory. There are few qualified breeding scenes in the family
