If you want orchids to germinate more, you must first use appropriate planting materials, preferably coarse planting materials, which can provide better ventilation and drainage, and promote more vigorous growth. It likes a semi-shady environment. It should not be placed in the shade or exposed to the sun during maintenance. Placing it in a scattered light can accumulate more nutrients and promote germination. You must also provide it with sufficient nutrients, which cannot be separated from fertilizers. You can choose organic fertilizers or inorganic fertilizers. In addition, watering should be appropriate, and the soil should not be allowed to dry out or accumulate water.

1. Suitable planting material

When cultivating orchids, you should use suitable planting material. It is best to use coarse planting material, which has better drainage and air permeability. If the plant material used is too fine and has poor air permeability, it will be difficult for the roots to breathe in such an environment and cannot better absorb nutrients and water. The growth will be very thin and germination will be reduced.

2. Suitable lighting

It It likes to be in a semi-shady environment. When maintaining it, do not leave it in the shade for a long time. Move it to a place with astigmatism and get more sun. Only in the light can photosynthesis be carried out, accumulating more nutrients, thus promoting the formation of more buds. In addition, be careful not to be exposed to the sun and avoid direct sunlight or strong sunlight, otherwise you will easily get sunburned.

3. Fertilize in an appropriate amount

In During cultivation, base fertilizer should be applied to ensure sufficient nutrients. Fertilizer can be fermented bark, peanut shells or coconut shells and then used as base fertilizer, and gravel can be added to improve its permeability. Not only that, during the growth process, an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer must be added to increase nutrients. Sufficient nutrients will produce more buds and promote more flowering.

4. Water appropriately

It likes moisture, so water it frequently during the growing season to keep the soil moist. If there is a lack of water, the plants will appear dry and yellow, hindering their growth. But don't water too much. Once water accumulates, the roots will rot and it will not be conducive to germination. Being slightly moist will ensure that it absorbs enough water and will grow vigorously.
