The second is to start from the use of flowerpots, to provide it with a better air permeability for planting. For the use of water can not make it cause waterlogging, found immediately after the drainage.

1. It's better to provide it with a good quality water for irrigation. The best choice is the rain, river or well water in nature. But if you use the tap water from your home, it's better to put it aside for more than a day for irrigation..

2. Do not use the original plastic basin to plant orchids when maintaining them, because the plastic basin is not only poor in air permeability but also contains some toxicity, so it needs to be replaced in time. You can choose pottery basin with good permeability or porcelain basin, purple sand basin, etc.

3. Although orchids like water very much, the water content in the basin should not be too much. Keep the humidity in the basin at about 50% to 70% all the time. If it is because of the water caused by rotten roots to be replaced in a timely manner, replace with new soil can be replanted.

4. Maintain its growth temperature at about 20 ℃, and put it in a place with plenty of light for growth.
