1. Can pure soil be used to grow orchids?Whether orchids can be grown in pure soil depends mainly on the quality of the soil used and the variety of orchids being grown. If you are growing terrestrial orchids and the soil you use has good air permeability and drainage, then it is feasible to grow them in pure soil. But if you are growing epiphytic orchids, you cannot use pure soil, otherwise it will cause them to grow poorly. They need to be grown in a mixed planting material with good air permeability to provide them with root attachment points for them to attach and grow. 2. What are the requirements for soil for orchid cultivation?1. Good air permeability: The roots of orchids also need to breathe, so they should be grown in soil with good internal air circulation. Therefore, the soil used to grow orchids must have a certain degree of air permeability to ensure that its roots can grow healthily. 2. Adequate fertility: In order to provide sufficient nutrients to the orchid and allow it to thrive, it is necessary to plant it in soil with a high nutrient content. If it grows in a barren place for a long time, it will grow poorly and have yellow leaves. 3. Not easy to accumulate water: It is a flower that is afraid of waterlogging. If there is water accumulation in the soil where it is grown, its roots will be soaked and rot. Therefore, the soil for growing it should have a certain degree of drainage so that the water can be discharged in time after watering. |
