Orchid pot planting steps and precautions

1. Steps for planting orchids in pots

Select seedlings: Divide the orchid plants into several clumps, with each clump having about three seedlings. The selected seedlings should be of different heights, lengths, and lengths, and both tender and older ones. Orchids grown in this way will have a better sense of layering.

Choosing a pot: You need to choose a flower pot with a diameter of about ten centimeters, slightly deeper, and of medium height. And prepare a prepared orchid soil.

Potting: You need a potting pad before filling it with soil. You can put a tile at the bottom of the pot to cover the drainage hole, and then put in bricks, tiles, etc. one by one, leaving some gaps. The pad should be about half to one third the height of the flower pot.

Potting: Potting is usually done in spring. When potting, place the orchid directly into the pot, allow the roots and branches to stretch out naturally, then hold the plant with one hand and fill in the soil with the other hand, and gently shake the pot to allow the roots of the plant to fit closely to the soil. Finally, compact the soil with your hands, but be careful not to damage the roots. After planting, you can also spread a layer of pebbles or moss on the surface of the potting soil, which can not only enhance the appearance but also regulate moisture.

2. Notes

After paving the orchid, you need to water it thoroughly to moisten the soil and provide the plant with sufficient water to resume growth. Then move the orchid pot to a shady place for maintenance.
