How to choose planting containers for tropical orchids? Choosing the right pot is better for growth

①Flower pots;CultivationTropical orchids generally use plastic flower pots of different sizes, with holes at the bottom for drainage and airflow. Plastic flower pots are lightweight, clean and easy to store. Indoors, for the sake of appearance, they can be placed inside bamboo-woven containers or other fine porcelain flower pots. Various unglazed pots can also be used fororchid growing. This kind of flower pot is economical and practical, with good moisture absorption, drainage and ventilation performance, but the bottom should have relatively large drainage holes. Some epiphytic orchids (such as Dendrobium, Vanda, etc.) have special ventilation requirements. For these, perforated flower pots with long or round holes along the edges can be used. ③Frames or baskets: Some tropical epiphytic orchids are suitable for planting in frame pots made of wooden strips, such as Vanda, Cattleya, etc., which can be hung in greenhouses, shade sheds or indoors. The epiphytic roots of tropical orchids attach to the wooden frame and do not need filling material. In addition, small baskets woven from branches can also be used, with the same function as frame pots. ③Tree branches, bark or snake wood boards: Some epiphytic orchids can also have their epiphytic roots attached to a section of tree trunk, a large piece of bark or a piece of snake wood board, which can be hung in a greenhouse or indoors. Bark, tree trunks or snake wood boards can not only provide water and nutrients, but also have good ventilation conditions. They are themselves simple and natural works of art, setting off each other with beautifulorchidsand enhancing each other's charm. (Lin Qingde, Mu Wei)
