How to propagate Dendrobium chrysotoxum

1. Method of bud division

This method is more applicable to plants that have been planted in pots for more than 3 years. Many small plants will grow on the top of the plant, which we can use. We can cut off these buds. Before cutting, you must first select the small plants, generally those with 3-4 leaves, about 2-3 roots, and about 4-5 cm in length. Cut them from the original mother plant, treat the cut with wood ash, and then replant them in the pot.

2. Cutting method

This method is more commonly used and is best done in conjunction with repotting.

1. Choose a plant with good growth condition, cut off a branch with more buds, and divide it into several stem segments, making sure that each stem has a joint with small buds growing on the joint.

2. The prepared substrate is also very important. It must be breathable and well-drained to ensure that the stem nodes can survive the cuttings and that no water can accumulate.

3. Finally, insert the stem nodes and place them in a semi-shaded place. Spray the plant with water frequently to keep it moist. It can be potted after about 1-2 months.

3. Methods of division

If using this method, you need to first select plants with dense and vigorous growth, slowly take them out of the pots, cut them into several parts, and plant and cultivate them separately.
