What soil is best for growing orchids (detailed explanation of preparation method)

1. Flower soil requirements

1. Loose: The soil for growing orchids must be loose. Because the root systems of most of its varieties are not very strong, if the soil used is too hard, or has poor air permeability and becomes compacted, they can easily rot.

2. High humus content: Its growth requires higher nutrients. If the soil contains more humus, it can provide nutrients for its growth.

3. Good drainage: It is not tolerant to waterlogging. If water accumulates in the soil where it is grown, its roots will easily rot. Therefore, the soil used to grow it must have a certain drainage capacity, so as to ensure that it will not be waterlogged and can grow healthily.

2. Preparation method

1. Orchid: Because it is mostly epiphytic, you can prepare some rotten bark and some nutrient soil, mix them in equal amounts, and use them as its flower soil. Also, if you have moss on hand, you can add some to it.

2. Cymbidium: Because most of its varieties are terrestrial, you can use six parts of leaf mold, three parts of red soil and one part of river sand to evenly mix and make the flower soil. In addition, you can also mix equal amounts of leaf mold and sandy loam and use it as flower soil.
