How to Propagate Bonnet orchid?
Primary propagation methods for bonnet orchid include division and stem cuttings. Crucial factors for success are high humidity, filtered light, and warm temperatures, using a well-draining, orchid-specific medium. Special techniques involve sterilizing cutting tools and maintaining a humid environment to prevent desiccation. Propagation can be challenging due to bonnet orchid's sensitivity to climatic conditions and susceptibility to root rot. To propagate, gently separate pseudobulbs during repotting, ensuring each division has at least one growth point. For stem cuttings, snip a healthy section with sterile tools, allow the cut to dry slightly, and plant in the prepared medium. Consistent moisture, without waterlogging, is essential for rooting.
