Orchids are generally divided into terrestrial orchids and epiphytic orchids. Because of their different varieties, the choice of soil is also different. Epiphytic orchids grow on other plants or mosses, while terrestrial orchids can grow directly in the soil. Soil for orchidsWhen growing orchids, it is advisable to use soil that is sufficiently breathable, well-drained and fertile. Because its roots are fleshy and afraid of waterlogging, using soil with good breathability and drainage is more beneficial to its root growth, while using soil with sufficient fertility can provide it with more nutrients and help it grow faster and better. How to prepare soil for orchidsYou can mix leaf mold and coarse sand to make culture soil, or you can mix coconut bricks, orchid stone and garden soil in a ratio of 1:1:2 to make culture soil. We can also mix leaf mold, garden soil and rotten bark in a ratio of 3:4:2 to make culture soil. After the preparation is completed, be sure to disinfect the culture soil. Orchid soil replacementThe best time to change the soil for orchids is in spring and autumn, because the climate and temperature in these two seasons are more suitable for the growth of orchids and will not cause harm to them. Even if the roots of the orchid are damaged when changing the soil, the roots of the orchid will recover on their own during this period. |
