Phalaenopsis seeds can be germinated by soaking them in warm water at 30 degrees Celsius. The length of time depends on the hardness of the seed shell. You can also prepare a wet paper towel, put the seeds on it, and place it in a sealed container to germinate. It is also very common to use moist sandy soil to induce germination. Mix the seeds in the moist sandy soil and be careful that there is no accumulation of water in it.

1. Soak in warm water

1. Soak in warm water

1. Pick out the mature seeds and disinfect them first. Warm water soaking is the most commonly used method. Soak the seeds in warm water at 30 degrees, so that the seeds can fully absorb water and expand, becoming plump and substantial. This will end dormancy and restore vitality, which will facilitate later germination and growth.

2. There is no exact time for soaking. The specific time depends on the hardness of the seed shell. If the shell is relatively hard, the soaking time can be longer. If the shell itself feels like it is detached, the soaking time can be shorter. A little, usually about 8-24 hours.

2. Germination with wet wipes

< p>1. Prepare a wet tissue, a closed container, or a closed plastic bag.

2. Place the seeds on a paper towel, then spray water regularly to keep them moist, and place them in a sealed container to germinate. Adjusting the surrounding temperature by about 20 degrees can promote rapid germination of seeds.

3. Bury in the soil

It is also very common to use moist sandy soil to induce germination. Mix the seeds in the moist sandy soil. This method can be applied to a large number of seeds and can be processed in batches. Pay attention to the sandy soil being moist but without stagnant water, and then place it in a warm environment.
