Improved Farming Techniques of vanda tricolor

The proposed technique is an alternative to improve the growth and proliferation of Vanda tricolor. Cultivation technique were designed using applied technology utilizing inexpensive materials and easy to obtain, thus facilitating its application by farmers of conservation. 


 
The following steps can be taken to improve the cultivation of Vanda tricolor:

Nurseries Vanda tricolor can be propagated vegetatively by tillers / split and generative with seeds. For seeds from tillers / split needs to be done soaking the base of the stem and roots in a solution of 200 cc of coconut water mixed with 1 liter of water for 12 hours. Coconut water contains active compounds that active auxin and cytokinin to stimulate division and elongation of orchids organ cells. To obtain seedlings from seeds, need to be sowing seeds of fruits that have been cooked but not yet broke, marked with a yellow rind color brown. After the split fruit, seeds sown on media moss, This media can retain moisture, rich in organic matter and good for new root growth. Media moss will not damage the surface of the epidermis of the root meristem when done transfer of seedlings, because the soft structure. 

Growing Media
From observation and evaluation of data by the author. The best planting medium used is a mix of ferns, red brick fragments and manure. For the fern, pot-shaped cylinder was chosen, namely a tubular hole in the middle. Nati given a fraction of these holes brick base section, and then filled with manure. After planting media is ready, immediately Vanda tricolor grown mature enough to include most of the stem and roots into the hole fern. This form of planting medium will further support the growth of Vanda tricolor of being able to retain moisture longer and stimulate the formation of roots to soil nutrient and water supply for plants.

 

Location

Changing paranet 75% to 25% paranet. Paranet 25% will pass a greater light intensity, so as to improve the process of photosynthesis and stimulate the formation of flowers. For some orchids that are in the open with full light intensity, also should be moved to a shaded place or with paranet 25%. The intensity of light that is too large to damage the leaf tissue and accelerate the loss of moisture in the planting medium.
