Sharing the method of growing rootless old orchids in sphagnum moss

Growing rootless old orchids in sphagnum moss (Sleeping till noon)

Disinfect the old orchids first, then wrap them in sphagnum moss, add a cover inside the pot, and then water thoroughly.

A few things to note: 1. Use the good kind of sphagnum moss, the relatively coarse kind; too fine is no good. I have tried it, and the success rate was too low... 2. Soak the sphagnum moss for a while before potting, and water thoroughly after potting. 3. Do not press the sphagnum moss down; pressing it too tight is no good.

For care, manage them the same as otherorchids, but those grown in sphagnum moss may dry out relatively slowly, so pay attention when watering.

The next few pots are old orchids planted this year. The plants are all very old, and they have no roots, but now they have all sprouted..

This one is an old Xiahuang plant:

This one is an oldCymbidium kanranplant, and they all have no roots:

These are several old pseudobulbs of Hongyipin:

Hehe, the ones above are not bad, mainly used for experiments..... But now they are basically useless, since orchid prices are not high, and generally the too-old plants are all thrown away...

The roots grown this way are all straight and white. Are you afraid that after disturbing the pot it will be hard to plant? I was very worried at first too. Now look below:

This is a pot ofCymbidium goeringii. When I bought it that year, the seller was reluctant to sell, so I only bought a super old plant as a long shot... After buying it back, I planted it in sphagnum moss for more than a year, and now it has been back in normal cultivation for more than another year:

This pot is Cymbidium tortisepalum. Look, that plant on the far right, I do not know how many years old it is. It was one of the oldest rootless plants left over from sales a few years ago. At that time the leaves were just that yellow, and I was going to throw it away. I planted it in sphagnum moss as an experiment, and it produced shoots that same year. Now it has been turned into soil and in normal cultivation for almost two years...

The next few pots are selected small seedlings. After normal potting, I spread sphagnum moss on the pot surface, spray a little water on the sphagnum moss every day, and basically do not water. Now they are all growing very vigorously. Hehe, this method is good, very suitable forbalconyorchid growingfriends. If the quantity is small, this method is absolutely good, the plants grow well and it saves water. Each pot probably needs only 20 grams of water per day, and the water will not flow everywhere... Haha
