Add soil layer by layer until it is 3 cm away from the edge of the flowerpot, compact the soil so that the roots and soil are tightly combined, and then pour in rooting water to complete the planting. After planting, move the tiger skin orchid to a place with good ventilation and scattered light for maintenance, and keep the soil moist during the period.
