How to Propagate Rattlesnake orchid?
Propagation methods for rattlesnake orchid primarily involve division and keiki (baby plants) development. Key success factors include maintaining high humidity, indirect light, and warm temperatures, ideally between 18–25°C (64–77°F). Special considerations for rattlesnake orchid involve mimicking its natural epiphytic habitat, which includes airy substrates like fir bark or sphagnum moss. Generally, it is moderately difficult due to specific microclimate needs. To propagate, gently divide pseudobulbs during repotting, ensuring each division has several growths. Place in appropriate medium, keep humid, and avoid direct sun. Patience is key as rattlesnake orchid can be slow to establish.
