But as time goes on, there are fewer and fewer problems. When orchids grow well, new seedlings will keep popping up. Many people will choose to prune the old seedlings, fearing that the new seedlings will not grow nutrients. What I want to tell you today is that pruning old seedlings is actually not recommended.
First of all, the reed head of the old seedling can absorb nutrients and return them to the whole orchid seedling. If it is cut off, it is not conducive to the growth of new seedlings. As long as the leaves of the old seedling are healthy, it can absorb sunlight and produce nutrients needed by the whole plant.
However, the photosynthetic capacity of the new seedlings can not be compared with that of the old seedlings, and it can not fully support the growth needs of the whole orchid plant, so it is difficult for orchids to produce more and more beautiful flowers. But when the new seedlings have grown into strong seedlings, it is necessary to cut off the old seedlings at this time, which is not conducive to the growth of new seedlings.
