White orchid cutting propagation

White jasmine can be propagated by cuttings of soft branches in summer, which will generally take root after 60 days, but the survival rate is generally not high. It can also be propagated by heel-shaped cuttings. Taking good warming measures can promote root germination. Hard branch cuttings are generally difficult to take root.

White orchid sowing propagation

Before planting white jasmine, you need to soak them in a wood ash water solution for 1-2 hours to disinfect them. Then, take them out, dry them, rub open the skin with your hands, wash them in clean water, and then you can sow them.

Prepare some loose, breathable, slightly acidic soil, place the white jasmine seeds on the soil surface, cover with a thin layer of soil, then moisten the soil with water. After that, maintain a warm environment and wait for them to germinate.

White orchid breeding precautions

White jasmine likes soil with good air permeability, looseness and rich in humus. It has a great demand for fertilizer during the growth period. Fertilize once every half a month or so, and stop fertilizing in winter. The principle of watering is "don't water unless the soil is dry". Drain the accumulated water in time after rain to prevent root rot. The room temperature should be kept above 5°C.
