Butterfly orchids have petals that look like wings. And they have sepals that look like antennas.
Butterfly orchids are very clever. They trick insects to help them. The insects think the flowers are other insects. They try to mate with them. But they end up pollinating them.
To germinate butterfly orchid seeds, you need a clear plastic container with a lid. You need some water and some sugar. You need some agar and some peat moss.
Agar is a jelly-like substance that comes from seaweed. Peat moss is a kind of soil that comes from wet places. You can buy these things from a store or online.
To germinate butterfly orchid seeds, you need to do these steps:
- Mix some water and some sugar in a pot. Heat it until it boils.
- Add some agar and stir it well. Let it cool down a bit.
- Pour the agar mixture into the plastic container. Cover it with the lid.
- Put the container in the fridge for a few hours until the agar becomes solid.
- Take the container out of the fridge and poke some holes in the agar with a toothpick.
- Sprinkle some peat moss on top of the agar.
- Sprinkle some seeds on top of the peat moss.
- Cover the container with the lid again.
- Put the container in a warm and bright place, but not in direct sunlight.
- Wait for a few weeks until you see tiny plants growing.
Congratulations! You have germinated butterfly orchid seeds! Now you can take care of them until they grow bigger and flower.
