2. Is deep seeding required?

Orchids with no roots and single seedlings need to be cultivated with plant materials with good permeability and water-retaining ability. After potting, place it in an environment around 20°C, maintain a semi-shady environment, maintain ventilation, and suspend fertilization. During this period, do not let it receive direct sunlight. In addition, the moisture content must be controlled. It is best to water once every 7-10 days to keep the plant material slightly moist but slightly dry.

1. How to grow

1. Preparation of plant material: Rootless orchid seedlings should be cultured with plant material with good permeability and water-holding capacity. It is recommended to mix two parts of large particles of pine bark and one part of large particles of sea pumice and spread it on the bottom of the pot. On top of it, spread a layer of planting material made of a mixture of pine scale and volcanic stone particles, then spread a layer of sphagnum moss and use a layer of sphagnum moss. Paving with small volcanic stone particles. This kind of planting material is very breathable and water-retaining, and is very suitable for the growth of rootless orchid seedlings.

2. Carry out clear cultivation: rootless orchid seedlings are potted Afterwards, it needs to be placed in a warm place to raise. It is recommended to control the temperature around it at around 20°C. During maintenance, try to avoid external stimulation, no strong light, and no fertilization. Otherwise, it may cause growth problems. Watering should also be controlled appropriately, watering once every 7-10 days to keep the plant material slightly moist but slightly dry.

2. Is deep planting required?

Orchids with no roots and single seedlings do not need to be planted deeply. Because it has not yet grown roots at this time, it does not need to absorb water and nutrients from the underlying plant material. And planting it shallower can slightly reduce the resistance to its root growth, which is conducive to its rooting. After it takes root smoothly, you can add a layer of sphagnum moss on top of the planting material to wrap its roots.
