Planting and Sowing Instructions:
-
Preparation: Start by filling a small seed tray or shallow container with a well-draining orchid mix or light potting soil. The soil should be moist, but not soggy.
-
Sowing the Seeds: Sprinkle the seeds evenly over the surface of the soil. Lightly press them into the soil using a flat tool or your hands. Phalaenopsis seeds require light to germinate, so do not cover them with soil.
-
Germination Conditions: Place the tray in a warm location with indirect light. A temperature range of 70-75°F (21-24°C) is ideal. Keep the soil consistently moist but not wet.
-
Humidity: Orchids thrive in a humid environment. If growing indoors, place the seed tray in a humidity dome or cover it with a clear plastic wrap to retain moisture. You can also use a humidifier nearby.
-
Germination Time: Germination can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on environmental conditions. Be patient, as orchid seeds may take some time to sprout.
-
Transplanting: Once the seedlings have grown large enough to handle (usually after a few months), you can transplant them into individual pots or directly into your garden. Make sure the new pots have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
-
Care and Maintenance: After transplanting, continue to care for your orchids by ensuring they have access to indirect sunlight, moisture, and humidity. Orchids prefer to be kept in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Use a balanced, orchid-specific fertilizer to support healthy growth.
