Orchid planting can be divided into two methods: sowing and dividing. Sowing is generally done in spring. First prepare a flowerpot with drainage holes, then sow the seeds and cover them with a thin layer of soil. To divide the plants, take the plants out of their original pots, then cut the roots with scissors and transplant them separately.
