Orchids are a precious flower in traditional Chinese culture and one of the widely cultivated plants around the world. To successfully plant orchids in pots and make them thrive, you need to know the right way to pot. The following is a detailed introduction to the correct way to pot orchids.
1. Prepare potting soil.
When choosing potting soil, it is necessary to choose pots with good air permeability and good drainage, such as tile pots, ceramic pots, etc. At the same time, the soil should have good moisture retention and air permeability, and can be prepared with a mixture of humus, perlite, vermiculite, etc. When filling the potting soil, fill the potter with the soil and gently compact it to facilitate the fixation and growth of the root.
2. Choose orchid seedlings.
Choosing healthy, thriving orchid seedlings is the key to potting. Orchid seedlings with strong green leaves, straight leaves, and no pests and diseases should be chosen. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the root system of the orchid seedlings is healthy, whether there are rotten roots, diseases and pests, etc.
3. Deal with orchid seedlings.
Before planting the seedlings in pots, they need to be treated. First of all, the rotten and weak roots of the orchid seedlings should be cut off and disinfected with fungicides such as carbendazim or methyl tobuzin. Then, let the roots of the seedlings dry naturally so that they can be better fixed in the potting soil.
Fourth, plant orchid seedlings.
When planting orchid seedlings, put them in potting soil and gently compact the soil so that the orchid roots are tightly bound to the soil. When fixing the orchid seedlings, be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the orchid roots. Then, gently lift the orchid seedlings so that they are straight, and gently compact the soil with your hands so that the orchid roots are fixed in the potting soil. Finally, water thoroughly so that the soil is sufficiently moistened.
5. Placement.
After the orchid is planted, it should be placed in a well-ventilated, semi-shady place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. At the same time, it is necessary to adjust the light and temperature in time according to the growth of the orchid to make it thrive.
In short, orchid potting requires mastering the correct skills in potting soil selection, orchid seedling selection and treatment, planting methods, and placement. Only after mastering these techniques can you successfully plant orchids into pots and make them thrive. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to daily maintenance and management, regular watering, fertilization, weeding and pest control, etc., to create good environmental conditions for the growth of orchids.
