What soil should I use to grow dancing orchids?

1. What soil to use

Dancing orchid has higher requirements for soil. It is recommended to use soil with strong air permeability and fast drainage. Its roots cannot be soaked in soil with a lot of water for a long time, so soil with good drainage must be used. Moreover, the soil must have sufficient fertility to allow the plants to grow well.

2. How to prepare soil

The soil used for growing dancing orchids is generally sphagnum moss, bark, fern roots, charcoal, vermiculite, etc. The soil is usually prepared by mixing broken fern roots, charcoal soil, vermiculite, peat soil and sphagnum moss in a ratio of 2:2:2:1:1. You also need to put some small bricks or gravel at the bottom of the pot. This is to allow the roots of the plant to breathe and prevent root rot.

3. Notes

1. After the soil has been used for a period of time, it will become very compacted, so it is necessary to turn the soil frequently to ensure the air permeability of the flower soil. Moreover, the soil should be changed after 2 or 3 years of cultivation.

2. Flower soil must be exposed to the sun for disinfection before use, especially soil that has been used to grow other plants. It cannot be used directly because there may be some pathogens in it, so pay attention to disinfection.
