Propagate orchids: the nurseryman’s method.
Each type of plant requires different care , not all are the same. Propagation is a particular process and as such must be applied correctly depending on the type you have.
To propagate by taking the flower twigs directly, it can be done using soil and a plastic bottle. Within the soil there must be particular nutrients that can be derived from the peel of potatoes or bananas.
To do this, simply cut the stem with a cutter, so that small shoots remain. It will then be placed in the plastic bottle or in a glass jar along with the soil rich in potato skin.
Pour some water and then rub the stem with the help of a cotton ball. In this way the plant will be disinfected and free of any type of bacteria .
Then the two ends should be sealed with candle wax and then covered with a piece of transparent film. Make small holes in the plastic with the help of a toothpick and place everything in a humid, illuminated place with a temperature of 25°C. Spray with water and water day after day. After just 4 months you will be able to see the plant germinate elegantly and you will be able to repeat the operation indefinitely. Be careful to never place the seedling in direct sunlight.
