Bury these few things in the orchid pot, and the orchid will grow vigorously, send up shoots every year, spike fast and bloom abundantly.

To care for orchids, you must pay attention to the three principles of orchid care: first, ensure air permeability and drainage; second, lock in nutrients; third, provide nutrients reasonably. If you achieve these three points, it will be somewhat difficult for the orchid to die or get sick. Here, based on the three principles of orchid care and combined with my ten-plus years of orchid-growing experience, I will comprehensively summarize a set of potting medium ratios suitable for the general public to grow orchids. Not only is it cheap, it is also super affordable!

First, there is the choice of orchid potting medium. Choose crushed red brick of medium particle size, wash it with water and dry it in high temperature for about two days for ultraviolet disinfection. Then choose medium-sized pebbles from a small river, wash them with water and dry them.

Second, select sun-dried cow dung and break the cow dung into medium-sized particles. This is because cow dung has very good fertilizer efficiency and can provide effective nutrients for orchids. Furthermore, it is necessary to use burned charcoal and a small amount of rotten wood humus soil that has been fully decomposed. This is because charcoal soil can not only provide nutrients to orchids, but also lock in nutrients and has a moisturizing effect.

Once the above four orchid potting materials are ready, mix them evenly in a ratio of 1:1:1:2. This kind of orchid potting medium is suitable for the care of many orchids. At the same time, let me tell you the standard for testing whether orchid potting medium is high quality. First, look at the proportion of ingredients in the orchid potting medium, and then see whether the orchid potting medium is air-permeable and drainage-friendly by watering. If water flows out from the bottom of the pot quickly when watering, it means the potting medium ratio is workable.
