When repotting orchids, you need to use plants that are breathable, moisturizing and contain certain nutrients.Moreover, when changing soil, we should pay attention to the fact that orchids are mainly divided into epiphytic orchids and terrestrial orchids, and different plant materials should be chosen when changing soil for these two kinds of orchids.
< H3 > 1. What is the plant material for epiphytic orchidBecause epiphytic orchids are orchids that grow attached to rocks or other trees, they can not be cultured in ordinary culture soil.When changing soil for it, it is suggested to mix rotten bark, broken stones, sphagnum moss, ceramsite, tree fern root, charcoal, volcanic stone and so on as breeding materials.This kind of plant material is breathable enough for its growth.
The terrestrial orchid can be directly rooted in the soil to grow, so it can be mixed with humus soil, peat soil, river sand and other soil to prepare the planting material.Before repotting, a layer of pebbles or ceramsite can be laid at the bottom of the pot as a drainage layer to prevent water accumulation in the plant material.After planting, a layer of volcanic stone, fairy soil or sphagnum moss can be paved on the top.
Generally speaking, epiphytic orchids cannot be directly raised with fleshy soil.However, terrestrial orchids can be raised in meaty soil.Because the fleshy soil also needs to meet the basic conditions of ventilation, moisturizing, hypertrophy and so on, for terrestrial orchids, such a growth environment is also very suitable.
