What are the sowing methods and propagation methods for orchids?

I. Sowing methods

1. Pot and soil: For the pot, choose a tall type with side edges, preferably with holes on the sides, as this makes ventilation easier; the material can be plastic or clay. There are also particular requirements for soil selection: do not use a very fine-textured soil; you can use coarse humus soil mixed with crushed stones.

2. Seeds: Select suitable seeds, soak them in clean water mixed with a fungicide. The time does not need to be too long, about 24 hours, then remove them. Then rinse them in clean water, and place them in a cool place to dry off the moisture.

3. Sowing: After the seeds are treated, they can be sown. Sprinkle them evenly on the surface of the soil layer, then cover with a thin layer of fine soil.

4. Care: After these steps are completed, place it under diffused light and spray water regularly to keep it moist.

II. Other methods

1. Division propagation: This method is often used. Take the plant out of the original pot, comb out the root system, separate it, and then cultivate the divisions separately. After watering thoroughly, they will usually survive in about half a month.

2. Tissue propagation: This is generally used for large-scale cultivation. Place the new shoots in a nutrient solution so that they are fixed and take root.
