Can orchids be grown in coconut coir soil?It is possible to grow orchids because coconut coir soil is relatively soft and has good water permeability and air permeability. If the air permeability of the flowerpot is poor, you can use it to increase drainage. However, you need to pay attention to controlling the amount when using it, and be careful to maintain it on rainy days. Advantages and disadvantages of growing orchids in coconut bran soilAdvantages: Coconut coir soil has strong water absorption, which can absorb enough water for orchids to maintain growth during planting. It also has good air permeability, so there will be no root suffocation phenomenon, and the orchid roots will grow and breathe well. Disadvantages: Coconut coir soil has good water absorption, which will lead to the accumulation of rainwater on rainy days. If it is not handled in time, water accumulation will occur, which will affect the breathing of the roots of Lanha and easily cause root rot. Frostbite will also occur in cold weather. How to grow orchids in coconut bran soil1. Soil preparation: Coconut coir soil itself does not contain any nutrients, so it cannot be used alone. It can be used in combination with humus soil and organic fertilizer. This way, the nutrients in the soil will be more sufficient and the orchid will grow better. 2. Planting: When planting, coconut bran soil can be spread on the bottom of the flowerpot first, and then humus soil can be buried to plant the orchid. You can also apply a layer of organic fertilizer on top of the coconut bran soil as base fertilizer. |
