Choose a perennial, healthy, disease-free, neat single-headed bottlebrush orchid or a mini plant with relatively many terminal buds, then dig it out of the pot or the ground, remove the soil above it, pay attention to protecting the roots, then clean it with water, cut off rotten or weak roots, and soak it in diluted flower and plant nutrient solution for one day.

Take two double-layer containers. The upper container should have a plastic screen with bottom holes, while the lower container needs to be a plastic bottle or glass bottle without bottom holes.

Wine bottle orchid hydroponic method

Dig four or five small holes of about one centimeter in the bottom of the upper container, plant the bottle orchid soaked in diluted flower and plant nutrient solution in the upper container, with the roots penetrating into the holes at the bottom of the upper container, and put in expanded clay. Then stabilize the wine bottle orchid, place it on the base container, add clean water and flower nutrient solution. The water should reach the bottom of the upper container, and then place it in a cool place.

Hydroponic management of bottle orchid

Spray the branches and leaves with diluted flower and plant nutrient solution every three days, change the water every half a month, and add flower and plant nutrient solution at the same time. The plant will start to take root half a month after being potted. In fact, hydroponics is more hygienic than soil cultivation. If there is less water, you can add water every 5-6 days. Hydroponics also have fewer diseases and pests.

This is all I have to say about the hydroponic method of bottle orchid. Many flower lovers have tried soil cultivation. Those who have not tried hydroponic methods can try hydroponic cultivation.
