1. Can it sprout again?If you cut off all the orchid leaves, they will regrow. If the orchid's roots are well protected, it will be able to regrow. However, if the orchid is in good growth condition, it is best not to cut off all the leaves. Just cut off the diseased leaves, dead leaves and orchid leaves that are growing poorly. Because cutting off the leaves may reduce the survival rate of the plant. Moreover, for plants to grow, not only do they need roots to absorb nutrients, but they also need leaves to carry out photosynthesis and respiration. If all the leaves are cut off, the orchid will grow very slowly. In addition, do not let the trimmed wound come into contact with water, and the scissors must be disinfected to avoid infection of the wound. 2. How to prune1. Pruning leaves: When the orchid leaves grow too densely, you need to cut off the weak and old leaves to allow the plant to have sufficient growth space and a good ventilation environment. It is also necessary to cut off the diseased leaves and stop the damage in time to prevent infection of other healthy leaves and affect the health of the plant. 2. Prune flower buds: If you find that there are too many flower buds, you need to cut them off, leaving only about two flower buds. This can prevent excessive nutrient consumption and affect the normal flowering and growth of orchids. 3. Prune flower stems: The flower stems need to be pruned in time after flowering to prevent nutrient loss. When cutting flower stems, first trim them about 3 cm away from the flowerpot. Wait until the remaining flower stems begin to wither, then continue to cut them off, leaving the roots to allow new stems to grow. |
