Can i propagate my orchid (Phalaenopsis) through water root stimulation? i took a 3 inch peice of root and its
Phalaenopsis propagate well from Kikes on the old flower stem, simply leave it on the plant. Roots generally don't grow to plants. Try some "cutting" powder or gel from your local garden centre. Rub some on an old flower stem. What you really need is a cytokinin probably coconut milk would work. That can be used on any green part of the plant.
Reply:The Phalaenopsis root will rot if it is kept immersed in water. Growers apply a hormone paste to encourage keikis.
