Put this in the orchid pot, and the roots won't rot, the leaves stay green, and the blooms are abundant

There are many methods and techniques for growing orchids, it's just that many people don't bother to learn about them or simply don't know them. These techniques and methods really work well for growing orchids, and they can solve many problems in orchid care. Today, the editor will introduce a good method for growing orchids: you only need to put three things into the pot, and you can reduce the chance of orchid root rot, while also keeping the leaves green and promoting the orchid to bud and bloom.

1. When transplanting orchids or changing the soil and repotting, besides laying large pieces of broken brick or other materials at the bottom of the pot, you can place 6--10 pieces of charcoal around the orchid roots, with the charcoal being about the size of a walnut. The benefit of adding charcoal is that it provides anti-corrosion, sterilization and disinfection effects, prevents root rot, and at the same time is an excellent phosphorus and potassium fertilizer for orchids. It can also absorb water and retain moisture, allow air flow and drainage, and can effectively solve the problem of orchid root rot.

2. During orchid care, you can spread a layer of decomposed pine needles about 1 cm thick on the surface of the flower pot, then sprinkle a thin layer of plant ash on top of the pine needles. The plant ash should not be too thick; for a flower pot with a diameter of 20 cm, sprinkling in about one spoonful is enough, because sprinkling too much affects air permeability. Plant ash is a very good phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. It is an alkaline fertilizer, can improve the pH of the soil, and has insecticidal and sterilizing effects. Pine needles not only have the characteristics of being loose and breathable, but can also prevent the potting soil from compacting, and have the effects of retaining water, allowing air flow, keeping warmth, and preventing heat stress. It is a commonly used medium for growing flowers.

Besides the above methods and techniques for growing orchids, daily care also requires attentiveness. Before caring for them, first understand the growth habits of the variety you are growing. Growing orchids is just like growing other plants; don't overindulge them just because orchids are delicate. Many beginners actually kill their orchids by overindulging them. Therefore, when growing orchids, keep a calm and ordinary mindset, learn more and observe more, and eventually you will be able to summarize a set of orchid-growing methods that suit you.
