Propagation of Anoeoctochilus Formosanus
Hi guys,
I got this little Anoeoctochilus Formosanus orchid recently.
However, the pot it has was a bit on the small side, the plant was leaning over the border of the pot and the pot was too light.
So one day the pot fell over - I knew I had to repot it, but I had not time yet to buy a better pot!
Anyways, it fell over and dropped, and the stem of my orchid broke.
I wonder whether this can be saved now. I made a clean cut where it broke and popped the thing in water. I noticed that it has a little "bump" where, what I think is the node, is.
Does that actually work or is this a useless experiment?
Or should I probably put it in sphagnum moss?
If this works, and the accidental cutting roots, how long should I expect this to take, and how long should the roots approximately become until I can put the plant back in a pot? and also, could I use pon or other mineral substrates? I received it potted in sphagnum, but I actually prefer mineral substrates because the fungus gnats and other pests dislike it. And I have heaps of it ;-)
And, also important, do I need to have some sort of humidity "tent" over the cutting to root successfully? humidity in my home is quite well regulated to a constant 50%.
