Orchid cultivation method

The best way to cultivate orchids is to use orchid soil or plant silica, or you can add pebbles to the burnt soil, cut off the roots of orchids, soak them in diluted potassium permanganate solution for half an hour, then plant them in flowerpots, and finally cover the soil surface with pebbles and water them.

1, soil selection

Orchids are fragile at seedling stage, so it is best to choose soil with strong air permeability and rich nutrients. Orchid soil and phytolith are commonly used fertilizers for orchid cultivation. We can also prepare our own soil, and add a small amount of cinder and pebbles to the burnt soil to increase the moisturizing ability.

2. Orchid plant treatment

In the orchid cultivation method, plants need to be treated. First, the rotten roots and injured roots of orchids should be pruned, and it is best to keep more than four strong roots. Then dilute the orchids with potassium permanganate solution by 65,438+0,000 times, soak them for 40 minutes, and then take them out. After that, clean the orchids with clear water and put them in a cool place to dry. You can put the orchids into the pot without water drops at the roots.

Step 3 plant orchids

Choose a flowerpot with a suitable size, carefully place the orchid seedlings at the bottom of the flowerpot, and then slowly pour in the prepared soil. In the meantime, slowly lift the orchid seedlings slightly, so that the roots of orchids are in close contact with the soil, and be careful not to expose the roots.

4, finalize the design paving stones

After planting, it is necessary to cover the soil with a layer of pebbles, ceramsite and other materials, which can prevent the roots from being exposed when watering, play a good role in protecting roots, supplement nutrition, increase ornamental value, and make orchids adapt to the surrounding environment in a short time and survive earlier.

5. Water the roots

If the temperature is good when planting and the roots are strong, you need to water the roots immediately. If the roots are damaged, you need to wait about two days before watering. If the climate is cold, you need to water it a little, as long as the soil is slightly wet.
