Before starting the orchid propagation from a leaf, prepare the necessary tools. You’ll need a well-sharpened and sterilized garden scissors, a plastic container, filtered water, and the following fertilizers: rooting hormone, a bit of activated charcoal, and a mix of cytokinin and succinic acid.
The process of propagating an orchid from a leaf is one of the more complex methods and takes time: roots can take more than a year to develop.
The leaf for propagation should be taken from a healthy adult plant. Use the scissors to cut the leaf and the piece of stem, then let it dry for 8 hours.
