Four-season orchid division method, sharing my care experience

Everyone has their own technique for dividing Four-season orchids; some like to plant them in clumps, others like to split them into single growths, while I myself like to divide and repot frequently. Of course, the premise is that only good varieties give you the drive to do it - that's being a snob, I suppose. Hehe~

I generally divide the growths when the new shoots have grown to 5-7 parts mature, taking them with the mother growth, because by then the main roots of the new shoots have already grown fairly strong and can more or less support themselves, and with the mother growth supplying nutrients, the growth of the new shoots does not stall after division. Also, because the growing medium is replaced, by the time the finger ring appears, the secondary roots that grow will be very numerous and strong, the pseudobulbs will set and firm up quickly, and the subsequent new shoots will also be very robust. Based on practical calculation, on average you can divide once every 8 months.

After dividing, pay attention to shading and moisture retention in the early stage, otherwise the new growths can easily stall. High or low temperatures do not matter much. During the pseudobulb-setting stage, the new shoots need some fertilizer, because at that time the new roots emerge in masses and consume relatively more nutrients, so timely supplementation is needed.

Using this division method, the premise is that the environment must be suitableorchidgrowth, and the root system of the orchid growths must be good.
