How to propagate an orchid from a leaf. | November 14, 2023

Orchids  are  a passion that many of us share, and it’s no wonder. These wonderful plants give us some of the most beautiful flowers in nature, with the most varied shapes and colors. However, they have a small drawback: they are really expensive.

Few people know, however, that  orchids can also be propagated at home  , following precise but very simple processes. Preferred methods include propagation through cuttings, sowing, dividing a plant, and stem propagation.

The orchid leaf  alone is not suitable for propagation. It does not have growth points that can give life to new roots. That is why it will be necessary to remove a leaf with a small piece of the trunk.
