Orchid growers soak Xiantu in boiling water, greatly reducing orchid diseases

The weather has turned cooler, and the orchids that had never come home from outside are one by one coming home. I need to hurry and prepare comfortable homes for them. But this Xiantu needs soaking, which takes time, right? I thought of boiling water, using boiling water to soak the Xiantu.

First, boiling water can greatly shorten the soaking time of Xiantu; second, when Xiantu has been stored for a long time, diseases are unavoidable, and scalding it with boiling water greatly reduces orchid diseases! Not bad, the soaking time of Xiantu has been much shorter. I dare not make arbitrary claims without testing, but it can only reduce them, not increase them, right?

You can also start from these aspects: 1. Use less Xiantu (or other potting media) and more boiling water to maintain a relatively high water temperature. 2. After the water temperature drops, you can add disinfectant. 3. Use dry Xiantu and directly add boiling water to soak it; this can both maintain a relatively high water temperature and allow the high-temperature water to directly enter the soil.

Then again, this method can only be suitable for orchid growers repotting and transplanting small batches. For large batches, it is probably both tiring and uneconomical.
