Orchids grow, breed explains step by step – generative and vegetative propagation of orchids
You can multiply by two different ways your orchids orchids Generative propagation . (Sexual reproduction by seed, the plants are different because of the genes of the parents) and the orchid vegetative propagation (asexual reproduction through meristems (young tissue), christening or Keiki (offshoot ) and about the parts of the plant. The plants are genetically identical to parents. They are like cloned.
The Generative propagation of orchids by pollination
How do many other plants in order to form seed pods can get pollen on the stigma of the flower. Insects land on the lower lip and thus fertilize the flower. The lip is usually conspicuously colored and / or gives off a scent to attract the insects.
For successful fertilization formed within weeks or months seedpods that fall to the ground split open, and are blown by the wind. The orchid seeds lack the endosperm, to germinate, as is common in other plant species. So does the orchid seeds, the advantage of symbiosis. A type of fungus splits the nutrients of the soil or tree bark so that it can feed the orchid seeds, so that it germinates.
It is almost possible to multiply each his orchids if you proceed with caution and carefully.
Run a toothpick through the golden pollen on the sticky stigma. Soon closes the scar is thick and faded. The pollen to pass through the pollen tube into the ovary. Within the next few weeks, the plant is fertilized. Watch the ovaries swell, so it’s a good sign. The maturing of the seeds may take between 2 and 9 months.
Sexually orchids grow through symbiosis (without sterile bench) – several possibilities
Remove the seeds and scatter them in the substrate of the mother plant, in the hope that the important fungi are found there.
Vaccinate a piece of bark or bark. Make sure to get a moist crust and a moist and warm ambient air. Use preferably a windowsill greenhouse.
Use the towel method. You must also ensure that the humidity will remain.
The vegetative propagation of orchids – several possibilities
Plant the branch (or keiki Kindel) in a small windowsill greenhouse.
Divide the bulbs and plant them in the substrate.
Plant the Rückbulben.
Plant a Nodienkultur from leafless, green Rückbulben in a windowsill greenhouse.
Bring to get moss on the cuttings to a root anchorage.
What is always to respect
Very important increase in orchids is that the plants are strong and healthy. Never use non-sterile tools (scissors, knives, and so on) to process the plants. The interfaces of the orchids you should sprinkle with carbon or sulfur powder to prevent bacterial and fungal infections. If you tie a plastic bag or plastic wrap to a pot, to increase the humidity around the plant, you always think from it and to the plant to air, so that no decay occurs.
In pollination, when only one plant is available, should be present at least two flowers (one is the dust, the other the pollinated). To pollinating flowers should be open for several days.
