Dendrobium nobile multiply - That's how it works
The Dendrobium nobile is one of the Kindel-joyful orchid species. Clever orchid gardeners use this fact for the uncomplicated propagation of a grape orchid. This guide explains how to properly cut and maintain an offshoot.
Mother plant and child separate at the right time - so it works
When small aerial roots and leaflets sprout along a strong pseudobulb instead of a bud, patience is required first. The longer a Kindel stays connected with its mother plant, the stronger it starts into orchid life. How to recognize the right time and perform the separation cut expertly, read here:
By cutting off the daughter plant along with a small piece of the bulb, the prospects of further growth are improving. As a cutting tool for precise cutting a disposable scalpel from the pharmacy has proven. Here it can be largely ruled out that pathogens are on the blade.
Planting and caring for children - How to do it right
Cut at the ideal time, the Kindel of a Dendrobium nobile has all the characteristics of its mother plant. The care program after the separation cut mainly pursues the goal of rapid growth of further roots and leaves. This is how it works:
Until a fresh sprouting of new leaves and aerial roots develops, do not administer fertilizer. Instead, spray the young plant regularly and air daily. If the daughter plant has completely rooted the cultivation pot, the change into a transparent culture pot is on the program. From now on you will cultivate the young grape orchid like an adult plant.
Tips
If a child still does not flower two years after reproduction, it usually lacks the winter temperature reduction for flower induction. Dendrobium orchids only put on their buds when the temperatures are lowered from October to 5 degrees Celsius compared to the previous room heat.
