As for the soil, it is best to use soil collected from their native habitat, or you can use a potting mix made of 0.5 part coarse sand, 1 part humus soil, 0.5 part perlite and 1 part peat soil.</p> <p style="text-indent:2em;"><span style="color:#0000FF">2. Potting up</span></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">Before potting up a lady's slipper orchid, first cut off the old, withered leaves beside the new shoots, and remove the blackened, rotting roots. Then place the orchid plant with all its roots flat on a surface covered with about 1/4 base soil, and evenly fill the pot with the soil until the root system is completely buried, with only the new shoots protruding. Finally, cover the pot surface with water-soaked white moss, and water thoroughly to finish.</p> <p style="text-align:center"></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;"><span style="color:#0000FF">3.
