Phalaenopsis seed planting method:
1. Sowing time: Phalaenopsis is suitable for sowing in a warm environment, and the temperature is kept at about 20℃. It is suitable for sowing and can help the seed to survive. The survival rate is high. Generally, it is planted in the late spring and early summer.
2. Prepare the substrate: The substrate of the Phalaenopsis can be mixed with pine needles, peanut shells, bark, and leaf humus to ensure that the soil is slightly acidic. It can be mixed with the plant material of the parent plant. The plant material may contain symbiotic bacteria necessary for the germination of the Phalaenopsis seeds. Such soil can not only facilitate the germination of the seeds, but also facilitate the growth after planting.
3. Prepare seeds: its seeds are generally stored in its fruit pods. First determine whether the fruit pods are empty packets, and remove the seeds that are empty packets.
4. Sowing: arrange the soil well, sow the seeds that have been released from the cracked capsules, and cover them with a thin layer of soil to keep the soil moist, which will help the seeds to germinate as soon as possible.
