All you need to do is plant the root in the special soil/tanbark mix that are used to plant orchids and water the orchid every 1-2 weeks. You should also get orchid food, it usually comes in a powder form that you put in water.
Some Orchids also need a Special sort of Fungi to germinate and grow.
“Throughout the life of an orchid it forms relationships with other organisms.Most importantly orchids rely on fungi to assist with the germination of seed,and in some cases continue to work with fungi throughout their life for their continuing health and development.Orchids may also grow on a host plant and depend on certain insects to pollinate them.
Orchid seed is the smallest seed of all plants,taking more than 1.25 million seeds to weigh a single gram.A specific fungus allows orchid seed to germinate by effectively providing energy to it that the orchid can ’t provide itself.Other plants are self sufficient at this stage but not orchids. Scientists at the CPBR are working hard to understand this delicate and necessary interference of fungi that allows orchid seed to germinate.”
