1. Depot and pruning: If you want weak orchid seedlings to grow strong, you must first take them out of the pot and cut off unnecessary parts with scissors. The so-called unnecessary parts are the rotten roots and dead leaves on it. These parts will consume the nutrients in the plant, causing it to fail to grow smoothly. If the root system is pruned too much, some additional leaves need to be pruned to reduce the rate of water evaporation and thereby reduce the burden on the root system. After cutting, place it in a ventilated place to dry the cut.

Plant materials should be selected that contain orchid bacteria, have high permeability and have certain moisturizing capabilities. This is more conducive to its growth. After planting, keep it in a warm place around 20°C for maintenance. During this period, ventilation, proper shading and fertilization should be maintained. After a period of time, when its root system is slightly developed, fertilize appropriately.
