New plants from "cane"cuttings?
Hi;
I took a spent cane [Dendrobium](no leaves) and cut it into sections, coated each cut end with rooting hormone, then placed it on a bed of wet sphagnum moss in a plasitc tray. Did I do O.K. so far? I placed the trao it is not in direct sun light but gets plenty of shaded light. How long do I wait for any rooting and if I do get roots where will the new sprout (plant) be positioned on the cut cane? Bob |

Bob I laid the can on its side and did not cut at all. each node has a chance of being a live eye. Some will sprout some will not. Many people cut the canes as you did. I would say that if the cane was green not dry and yellow you should get a good keiki. As to how long this will take, until the cane rots, sprouts or dries up. It can take forever Grin (a year) or be just a couple of weeks. Good luck. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php |
Sue:Thanks so much for the boost in confidence. I am looking foward to
the keikis and will keep you posted Bob |
