When repotting orchids, put this in the pot, and an old gardener never worries about root rot again

An old gardener repots orchids and secretly puts this in the pot, never expecting root rot to never happen again.

People often say that if you think about problems with fixed thinking, over time you will not know how to adapt. The same is true for growing orchids; do not stick rigidly to one fixed method. Without innovation in orchid growing, you will not understand how to adapt, and in the end you will only be left with empty pots.

However, next, this innovation by the old gardener made my eyes light up. This method is worth trying. This is what the old gardener does when repotting orchids: he places 1-2 cm square pieces of foam in the orchid pot. So what advantages does this kind of foam have?

The advantages of using foam to grow orchids are: First, foam is lightweight, fairly breathable, and has relatively good warmth retention. At the same time, it can also effectively remove odors and smells. Second, when using foam to grow orchids, when repotting the orchids, they can be easily separated from the old pot. Third, when using foam to care for orchids, because the breathability is relatively good, the orchid roots are not prone to hollowing out and are not prone to root rot.

Therefore, when we care for orchids, after the other orchid growing media are mixed in the right proportions, we can add a small amount of foam to the orchid pot. In this way, we can better provide reliable protection for our orchids. At the same time, it also reduces some unnecessary confusion for us in orchid management.
