The root system of orchids is fleshy, which is more afraid of waterlogging.Therefore, when maintaining orchids, it is necessary to use soil with good air permeability and drainage.In addition, its growth also needs nutrient support, so it is recommended to use thicker soil to breed it.
1. Terrestrial orchid: Terrestrial orchid is an orchid variety directly rooted in the soil.During maintenance, peat soil or culture soil prepared by mixing humus soil, fairy soil, river sand, perlite and a small amount of base fertilizer can be used.
2. Epiphytic orchids: Epiphytic orchids are orchid species that grow attached to other trees.During maintenance, some special culture substrates are needed for its attachment.During maintenance, the plant material can be prepared by mixing seaweed, rotten bark, pine needle soil, ceramsite, crushed stone and the like.
It's better not to use yellow mud to grow orchids.Because the permeability and drainage of this soil are not very good, using it to grow orchids is not conducive to the growth of orchid root system, but also easy to cause root rot.Moreover, this kind of soil is easy to become very sticky after watering, which will bring a greater burden to the root system of orchid plants.If yellow mud must be used for planting, it is suggested that yellow mud be mixed with garden soil, humus soil and other soils to prepare soil for planting orchids.
