How to easily propagate an orchid from a leaf? | August 9, 2024

The orchid craze came to my city 10 years ago. Then they started giving this flower instead of a bouquet, as a gift for a special date. Women dreamed of propagating the orchid to decorate the entire balcony with these plants. Of course, only a few did it.

Not only is it sold everywhere, but housewives have learned to propagate the flower without any difficulty. Favorite methods include cuttings, sowing seeds, dividing a bush and propagation by peduncle.

In fact, the orchid leaf itself is not suitable for propagation. There are no growth points on the leaf plate, where the roots should form. But these growth points on the orchid are on the trunk. Therefore, to propagate an orchid in this way, you will need a leaf with a small part of the stem.
