Place dry branches of Dendrobium orchid in the jar! Suddenly each node has hatched
Dendrobiums are a beautiful and popular orchid species among indoor plant lovers. If you have a Dendrobium plant and are looking for a way to spread it, try placing dry branches of your orchid in a jar. You will be amazed to see each knot bloom!
Materials required:
- Dendrobium Dry Branch
- Transparent glass jar
- Water
Steps to follow:
- Start by selecting a dry branch of your Dendrobium plant. Make sure that she is healthy and has no signs of rot.
- Fill the glass jar with water. Make sure the water level is sufficient to completely immerse the base of the branch.
- Gently place the dry branch in the jar, ensuring that all knots are immersed in the water. The knots are the small protuberances along the stem of the orchid.
- Place the jar in a bright place but away from direct sunlight. Orchids need light to develop, but intense direct light can damage plants.
- Change the jar water regularly to avoid stagnation and make sure that the branch is still immersed.
- After a few weeks, you will see changes. Each node of the dry branch will begin to hatch, producing new roots and possibly new shoots.
- Continue to monitor the growth of your Dendrobium in the jar. Once new roots and shoots are sufficiently developed, you can consider replanting them in a pot with a suitable substrate for orchids.
By placing dry branches of Dendrobium in a jar, you can observe closely the fascinating process of propagation of orchids. It is a simple and effective method to multiply plants and add beauty to your interior space.
