Why do orchids not germinate? How can we grow them to germinate more?

1. What is the reason for no germination?

1. Lack of water: Orchids need a certain amount of water support to germinate. If you don't water the plant for a long time and let it enter a state of water shortage, it will not be able to germinate normally.

2. Insufficient light: It prefers shade, but it cannot grow in the dark for a long time. Proper diffuse light helps it germinate. If it is not exposed to light for a long time, it will not germinate normally.

3. Lack of nutrients: It also needs certain nutrient support to germinate. If the planting material lacks nutrients and is not fertilized for a long time, it will not germinate.

4. No pruning: If the orchid plant is lush and has many old leaves and dead branches, it will consume a lot of nutrients and affect its germination. If there are a lot of dead branches and rotten leaves, it may directly lead to the inability to grow new shoots.

2. How to grow it to germinate

After the orchid enters the germination period, it needs to be placed in a warm environment of about 20℃, keep it ventilated and provide it with some scattered sunlight. Be careful to avoid direct sunlight, because it prefers shade and strong light will cause it to grow poorly. In addition, you can increase the frequency of watering and fertilizing appropriately to provide it with more water and nutrients. This is very beneficial for its germination.
