Propagating orchids at home is not an easy task, but it is very exciting. Sometimes an orchid shoot appears on its own, but more often it is grown. Experienced florists know how to grow an orchid from a baby, and they will be happy to share their experience with you in this article.

There are three ways to grow an orchid shoot: on a peduncle, from a cutting, or on the bottom of a flower. These processes are called children. Phalaenopsis babies are usually grown. To get a healthy, full-fledged baby, you should not take a plant that is too small, sick or weakened. To breed baby Phalaenopsis orchids, choose a strong flower with a good root system.

After the orchid fades, the peduncle is shortened so that 1.5–2 cm remains above the “dormant” bud. Remove the covering scale from the bud. When it is removed, a small “wound” is formed, which needs to be lubricated with cytokinin paste. The hormone cicotin, entering the “bloodstream” of the plant, enhances the growth of an additional bud. When a baby is grown on a peduncle, it is enough to lubricate 1–2 dormant buds. To awaken the kidney, warmth and directed sunlight are required in the morning or evening. If there is insufficient humidity in the room, some florists recommend wrapping the bud in a plastic bag until pecking.

How to grow a baby orchid on a peduncle cutting? You need to wait until flowering is complete and cut off the peduncle at the base. After this, cut it into several pieces of 3–4 cm. In the center of each cutting there should be a dormant bud from which the covering scale is removed. It is processed as in the previous method. Over the course of an hour, the cuttings are aired to form a film at the cutting site, or sprinkled with crushed coal. After this, the cutting is placed in a glass of water to which activated carbon has been added. Also, cut cuttings can be placed in a mini-greenhouse made of damp sphagnum moss. Ready-made greenhouses are sold, but you can make it yourself.

The next method is to breed baby orchids on the stump of a cut plant. For this purpose, plants that require rejuvenation are selected. A large flowering orchid with a good root system, which has at least 10 leaves, and which has risen well above the level of the pot, is suitable. After flowering has stopped, cut off only the top of the orchid (at least 4 leaves) with several aerial roots. The cut part is planted, and the stump is cared for as an ordinary adult plant. For raising children, high humidity and a temperature of 25–28 0C are recommended.

How and when to separate the baby

With good care, the baby may appear on the stem or root of an adult orchid itself. How to plant a baby Phalaenopsis? Phalaenopsis orchid babies are pruned after 5–6 months, when good roots have sprouted on them. An orchid with babies requires careful care and feeding with nitrogen fertilizers. It is necessary to separate the shoot when 4–5 leaves have appeared on the baby, and the emerging roots have grown by 5 or more centimeters.

A baby can also form on the root of an orchid. Remove the top of the substrate and check the baby's roots. If they are well developed, then separation can be carried out. To do this, use a sterilized pruner to cut the root 1 cm from the baby. The cut shoot is carefully removed from the pot and replanted.

Required Tools

To separate the baby, use sharp scissors or pruners. Before use, they should be sterilized with alcohol. You need to work with rubber gloves. To disinfect the cut, you will need activated carbon, and for replanting, a ready-made substrate and a small transparent plastic pot.

How to grow and root roots

It often takes a long time for an orchid to raise a baby. It happens that children do not put out roots for a long time. Experienced gardeners recommend giving the sprout the opportunity to grow roots, receiving nutrition from an adult plant. The process of growing roots in the soil is quite complex and long.

Many experts do not recommend using additional methods of root growth, but rather allowing them to form naturally. When a young plant struggles for existence in its natural environment, it adapts to its habitat conditions and becomes stronger.

To replant, you will need a transparent plastic container with holes in the bottom. The baby is placed in the center so that the root neck is flush with the edge of the container. The roots are evenly distributed throughout the entire volume and covered with substrate. It's okay if some of the roots remain on top. The soil should not be compacted too much to avoid damaging the delicate roots. The planted plant should be watered after the substrate is completely dry. You should not water the plant right away. This should be done after 2-3 days, when the wounds on the cuts have healed.

What to do if the orchid sprouts on the mother plant grow normally, but the roots do not want to appear? Then they need to be planted in a greenhouse. The baby with part of the peduncle is cut off, and the scales are removed from the base of the rosette. The rudiments of roots become visible there. Such a shoot cannot be planted in substrate or moss. You need to germinate the roots in the air with strong humidity and heat. To create a greenhouse you need to take a plastic cup in which small holes are made.

Expanded clay or pebbles are placed on the bottom, and moistened moss is placed on top. At a distance of 1.5–2 cm from the top of the glass, several holes are made to which the support is attached. The cut shoot is placed on a support so that it hangs in the air and does not touch the base. The top of the glass is covered with a plastic bottle. The bottom of the bottle is pre-cut. The greenhouse is placed in a warm, well-lit place. Moss needs to be constantly moistened and ventilated a lot. After the baby has produced roots 5–7 cm long, it can be planted in the ground.

Features of care

Then the baby is cared for like an ordinary orchid. First, the water is enriched with a growth stimulant and minerals. Now you know how to raise an orchid baby. With proper care, in 3-4 years it will turn into an adult orchid.

Video “Separation and planting of orchid babies”

From this video you will learn everything about the propagation of orchids, the separation of plant children and their planting.

“Dendrobiums” and “Phalaenopsis” are extremely popular among amateur gardeners in our country. It is typical for these plants to develop a so-called “baby” at the top of the pseudobulb. Propagating flowers from such shoots and planting them is easy and convenient.

“Babies” on a Phalaenopsis orchid can form at the base of the basal collar or on the peduncle itself from a “dormant” bud, which is typical at the end of the main flowering period. The most common occurrence is the formation of a “baby” from a “dormant” bud, which is located on the peduncle of a houseplant.

General information

If the “babies” have not produced roots during the entire time they have been on the mother plant, then such shoots can also be transplanted. Building up the root system can be done in soil or on sphagnum moss. However, such a process will be lengthy, as it requires particularly careful care of the plant.

How to get a “baby” orchid (video)

You should carefully monitor the temperature regime, and it is best to use a special indoor greenhouse for germinating roots on the “baby”. This design allows you to maintain optimal microclimatic conditions with minimal effort and time.

Phalaenopsis orchids are popular and in demand among indoor plant lovers - this is a tribute to their beauty and grace. Many people grow this butterfly orchid at home. Breeders successfully develop new varieties and hybrids to satisfy the most demanding tastes with unusual colors and flower shapes. On sale you can find miniature and medium-sized variations.

For fans of large sizes Giant plants of the “grandiflora” group are imported. Those who like abundant flowering can choose “multiflora” with strongly branching peduncles, on which up to a hundred flowers or more can bloom simultaneously.

If you pay attention to growing your orchid and provide it with proper care, it will live in your home for many years. There comes a time when an adult phalaenopsis becomes ready for reproduction and releases baby. Another reason forcing an orchid to reproduce is the threat of death. If a flower's roots have rotted or its growing point is flooded, it cannot continue to exist and devotes its last strength to reproducing offspring. The plant has a baby, sometimes more than one.

Let's take a closer look at the first case. If you want to lovingly grow a new plant with your own hands and give it to your family or friends, you do not need to cut off the peduncle after the orchid blooms. This should only be done when a branch that has lost its flowers begins to turn yellow and wither. Over time, flowers form again on a viable green peduncle, or a baby is formed from a dormant bud. It is only advisable to shorten it, leaving two internodes and making a cut 1-1.5 cm above the last bud. Since the peduncle is hollow, so that it does not lose moisture after trimming, it is advisable to seal it with wax; ordinary plasticine will do. This option for educating a child is the most common.

Growing verbena from seeds: planting, care, propagation

If you want to focus not on flowering, but to get a baby, Provide the plant with bright, diffused light and high air temperature (about 30°). Naturally, such conditions are created in the summer months. It is at this time of year that the chances of getting a new plant are great. With such climate parameters, the plant prefers not the laying of buds, but the growth of the baby.

New plants can also be basal, growing at the base of the trunk. This happens more often if the plant does not have a peduncle and the growing point is damaged. Without the opportunity to develop, the orchid devotes all its energy to creating a new life and forms a baby. Some people do not dare to separate and replant a new plant from the mother one. In this case, two phalaenopsis will live in one pot at once.

When can you separate a daughter plant?

You can’t plant the resulting baby too early. It is not viable without its own root system. It takes approximately six months for a new phalaenopsis to to grow roots. Until this moment, it feeds on the mother plant. By 6 months, a small orchid will grow 4-5 of its own leaves and roots up to 5 cm long. Then you can safely separate it.

Take care in advance of the substrate for transplanting the young flower. On sale you can find special soil for home orchids of different compositions, but the best is considered to be a substrate made of pine bark with the addition of sphagnum moss. You can also prepare the bark yourself by first boiling it to remove the resins, drying it and breaking it into small pieces. Specialized gardening stores offer ready-made bark of various fractions for sale.

This substrate allows air circulate freely in the pot, reducing the risk of root rot. You can additionally make several holes in the walls of the pot, through which excess moisture will evaporate faster. It is better to cover the top of the soil in the pot with the baby with moss, which will prevent the aerial roots from drying out. Sphagnum is periodically moistened by spraying.

Planting orchid babies

How to transplant a baby orchid at home into a separate pot? First, prepare a place for transplanting work. It is better to disinfect the tools first. Prepare:

Use either pruning shears or a knife - whichever is more convenient for you. How to separate a baby from an orchid if it developed on a peduncle? The small plant is cut off along with the part of the peduncle to which it is attached. The length of this piece should be approximately 1 cm. After this, the plant is left to dry for a while, then the sections are powdered with crushed coal or cinnamon powder.

How to remove an orchid shoot from a stem? Here they act in a similar way, separating a young plant with roots from the mother’s stem with a knife, and perform manipulations with drying and powdering. Then the baby is transplanted into a pot without deepening the root collar; it is better to place it flush with the edge of the pot.

Holding the plant by the base of the stem, carefully fill the space between the roots with pieces of bark with your free hand, periodically tapping the bottom of the pot on the table so that the substrate lies evenly. If the topmost roots do not penetrate the soil, they are covered with pieces of moss. Do not make any effort when filling the pot with substrate; the roots of phalaenopsis are very fragile and can be easily damaged.

Features of mallow and its care, types and rules for growing them

In order for a houseplant to grow and develop well, it is important to avoid mistakes in care from the first days. After transplantation, any plant goes through a period of adaptation. The planted shoot is placed in a place inaccessible to direct sun, but in a well-lit place. It is better if the room is no more than 21°C. East and west windows work well.

An orchid is a very beautiful indoor flower that can be propagated by children. Most inexperienced hobbyists do not risk breeding orchids at home. They feel that this process is too long and difficult. But if you know the rules and follow the recommendations, you can correctly separate the children from the parent plant without much effort.

Most inexperienced hobbyists do not risk growing a flower at home. They feel that this process is too long and difficult

Orchids are very fastidious plants, so it is quite difficult to get shoots from them. Sometimes it is even necessary to stimulate phalaenopsis to this process. The flower must be faded, and the peduncle must be cut to the first dormant bud on top.

Typically, shoots are formed from the upper bud on the peduncle, and they develop only with good feeding, sufficient lighting, high humidity and high temperature in the room - this is about +28...+30°C.

Orchids are very fastidious plants, so it is quite difficult to get shoots from them.

It will take about 6 months for the babies to sprout their own leaves and roots, after which the shoot can be separated from the mother.

It happens that an orchid sends out a basal baby, which appears from the center of the trunk, where the main vein stretches.

Children's department

Finally, the long-awaited children have appeared, perhaps even several of them.

It is necessary to consider a budget option for separating and planting a phalaenopsis shoot. It will not require large expenses, but with this method the plant will be very comfortable and it will take root quite quickly.

Typically, shoots are formed from the upper bud on the peduncle

First you need to prepare the supplies for the procedure:

  • for replanting you need a transparent pot or container, the bottom of which must have holes for ventilation of the rhizome;
  • Styrofoam;
  • pine bark;
  • charcoal;
  • tools must be pre-treated with disinfectants to prevent infection of young plants.

If there is no polystyrene foam, then pine bark will be enough. If it is not possible to purchase special pots, then you can use ordinary transparent plastic cups or small transparent containers - the main thing is that they have drainage holes.

You need to cut off the shoot only when 3-4 leaves are developed on it. It will not be superfluous to wait for the roots to develop - there should be at least 2-3 of them. 5 cm long. Then you can begin to separate the baby orchid. If you delay replanting a little, the roots will become too long and it will be difficult to separate them without damaging them. It is better to postpone replanting if the roots of the children have not reached a length of 5 cm. They are still too weak and may not take root in the new place.

The procedure is carried out with a sharp knife or blade, very carefully, taking care not to damage the roots. If the baby is formed on a peduncle, it must be separated with a small piece of the mother plant. The edges of the cut must be treated with a fungicide or charcoal, which can be replaced with ground cinnamon powder. Then you need to dry it for a couple of hours. During this time, prepare the flowerpot.

The transparent container in which the phalaenopsis will be planted is filled with small pieces of polystyrene foam. The layer that will act as drainage should be about 3 cm thick. The foam will provide good ventilation for the rhizome at the bottom of the pot.

Pine bark is crushed into pieces up to 1 cm in size, then it must be doused with boiling water. This manipulation is carried out to destroy the larvae of various harmful insects that are invisible to the eye. Then the bark is poured into a container on top of the foam (up to half the container). The baby is distributed in the center, the roots are completely covered with the remaining steamed bark.

Subsequently, the young plant should be slightly deeper into the container; this is necessary for further free growth of the rhizome. You can't water it right away. It is better to do this after 2 or 3 days. During this time, the wounds will heal and the risk of infection will decrease.

You need to cut off the shoot only when 3-4 leaves are developed on it

It is possible that the rhizome will be a little long and will not fit completely into the container. Since phalaenopsis is an epiphytic plant, you should not be afraid of this. These roots will serve as aerial shoots and participate in the process of photosynthesis, like the leaves of a plant. In addition, the outer layer of the rhizome is designed so that it can absorb moisture from the environment.

It is important to ensure that the shoot stem and growing point remain open from bark and moss: this will prevent rotting when watering.

Is it worth separating the root children of an orchid (video)

At first, it is better to place the separated baby in conditions of high humidity and heat. It can be a greenhouse, a bag, an arboretum, a terrarium or an aquarium, but without inhabitants. So a young individual should grow throughout the year. Then it is transplanted into an adult substrate.

Water the plant as the substrate dries. It is difficult for a child to maintain an interval of 5-7 days between waterings, like an adult.

In the future, it is necessary to care for a young plant in the same way as for an adult - to ensure high temperature, sufficient humidity, timely watering, and good lighting. If the plant has been planted correctly and will continue to receive the necessary quality care, then it will certainly take root and even, perhaps, bloom soon.

At first, it is better to place the separated baby in conditions of high humidity and heat.

If you do not touch the young plants at all and do not try to separate them, then the growth of foliage will stop, and the rapid development of the root system will begin. As a result, the children can produce flower stalks that will bloom with a couple of regular buds. In this case, it is worth waiting until the young plant has flowered and gained strength, only then can it be separated from the parent individual. To understand that the baby is rested and ready for transplanting, you need to pay attention to the rhizome. It will begin to grow rapidly again.
