Principles of soil preparationWhen growing orchids, the soil should generally meet five points: the soil should be acidic, relatively rough, rich in nutrients, retain moisture, and be loose, breathable and water-permeable. Soil that meets these requirements is more suitable for growing orchids. Soil preparation based on soft planting materialWhen preparing the soil, it is important to make it loose and choose some planting materials that are relatively loose and breathable, such as leaf mold, sawdust, coarse sand, etc. These can be used to prepare the soil for growing orchids. Add half of sawdust, one quarter of leaf mold and coarse sand, and mix well. This kind of soil is loose and breathable, moisturizing and has sufficient nutrients. It is very good for the growth of orchids. It takes root quickly, the plants are relatively strong, and the flowering is also relatively vigorous. Soil mix based on hard planting materialHard planting materials can also be used to prepare soil suitable for growing orchids. The more common ones are pebbles, broken bricks, orchid stones, sphagnum moss, bark, etc. After configuring these planting materials, you can grow orchids. Generally, when preparing soil for hard planting materials, it is difficult to master the use of fertilizers. It is best to add some earthy soil to the soil to supplement nutrients. When preparing the soil, the planting material can be placed in layers. Place larger planting materials at the bottom of the pot, small and medium-sized ones in the middle, and finer soil on the top. |
