How to Multiply Orchids from Division?
You can also multiply orchids by dividing them. However, only sympodial orchids can be divided into more orchids since they grow sideways across the pot’s top. Orchids should only be divided when the mother plant has grown too big to handle or when the rhizomes are forming a tangled mess.
- Divide the mother plant into 2-3 sections. Make sure each division has 3 to 4 pseudobulbs.
- Plant these divisions into pots filled with sphagnum moss or coconut husk/coir. Keep them at a location where they get plenty of bright but indirect light.
