How spider orchids reproduce

Sub ball propagation

It is suitable to divide the ball and propagate in spring. In summer, spider orchid should be planted in a cool and ventilated place. In winter, it should be kept sunny. It is better to put it in a greenhouse. After it enters the flowering stage, water it well. This kind of flower likes sunshine and humidity, but it can't be exposed to the sun. In the open cultivation, we should pay attention to keeping warm and put it in the greenhouse for cultivation. The requirement of soil is not high, it is suitable for the soil with more humus and a certain viscosity. Phalaenopsis can be divided into two ways: pot planting and field planting.

Potted plants

Mostly in March in spring. According to the ratio of garden soil, saprophytic soil and sand 3:1:1, a small amount of chicken manure can be added as fertilizer. After leaving the house, with the temperature getting higher and higher, the amount of watering will also increase. In summer, it is better to spray once in the morning and then water thoroughly in the afternoon to keep the soil in a moist state. In winter, we should reduce the amount of water to prevent excessive waterlogging. From June to September, we should reduce the sun exposure, put it in the half shade, keep the light transmittance of 40% ~ 50%.

Ground planting

In April, the fresh rhizome is placed in the place with sufficient light, which can promote the root activity well. Planting will be available in late May. We should choose a sunny, sunny and fertile place. In autumn, deep ploughing is about 40 cm, fertilization is carried out, and the border is leveled. Plough again next spring and plant after fertilization. Each spider orchid is 15-20cm apart and covered with 3-5cm of soil. Water and apply fertilizer appropriately, and weed in time. After late autumn, dig out the fake bulbs and put them in a dry place. The room temperature should be higher than 7 degrees. Plant them in the next year.
