The Lady-Slipper orchid is a rare and beautiful flower. It grows in the wild in Canada and parts of North America. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] This flower produces a large amount of seeds in giant pods. This [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] happens after it blooms. However, most of the seeds do not make it to germination.
Understanding the Pods
These large seed pods have as many as [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] twenty thousand seeds within each one. So why is this plant so rare? [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
You would think that out of thousands of seeds, many will make it to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] become mature plants. Not so fast, my friends. You may be jumping the gun just a bit.
These seeds are not designed to simply fall on the ground and start growing. These orchid types have seeds that are made to drift in the wind and gently settle down [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] into many different locations.
Why So Many Seeds?
The seeds [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] do not have an important [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] ingredient called endosperm. Without endosperm, the seeds will not germinate and grow. They will remain sterile and very light in weight.
However, once they are in the soil, some of the seeds are able to take on magical properties and become fertile and grow into lovely orchids. Some of the seeds will contract a fungal infection. You might think that is a bad thing, but this is not the case. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
It is a very good thing. In fact, the fungus is what gives [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the little seed life.
How The Seeds Come Alive
The little seeds are able to start digesting the fungus. This gives them necessary nutrients that they need to germinate. However, there is a better way for wild orchid propagation.
Rhizomes
You can propagate this wild beauty by rhizomes. This is the same way that asparagus and irises are propagated. You can take a cutting and plant it in the ground. Many people have tried to raise the wild orchid in captivity, but for some reason, it is better off if propagated outside, where it belongs.
If you find one in the wild, you should probably leave it where you find it. They do quite well in their natural environment if you just let them grow. (Of course, you should certainly take a picture!)
Lady-Slipper orchids are a rare and beautiful sight. The seed pods contain thousands of seeds, but they need a certain fungus to grow. They can be propagated by rhizomes. If you grow them, they will do much better in their natural environment where they grow on their [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] own.
