How to Propagate Dove orchid?
Propagation of dove orchid can be achieved primarily through division of pseudobulbs or by seed sowing, though the latter is exceptionally challenging and typically pursued by specialists. Key factors include high humidity, warm temperatures, and well-draining medium. Special attention must be given to mimic dove orchid's natural epiphytic habitat. Generally, propagation is deemed difficult, especially due to slow growth and necessity for fungal symbiosis when sowing seeds. Follow these steps: 1) Choose a healthy, mature pseudobulb. 2) Gently separate it from the parent plant, ensuring roots are intact. 3) Pot in a bark-based medium with suitable drainage. 4) Maintain high humidity and adequate shade. 5) Allow new growth to develop before considering further division.
