How to care for orchids when repotting, and what to pay attention to

I. Growing methods

1. Repotting and pruning: Prepare in advance a slightly acidic soil rich in nutrients with good air permeability and good drainage, and disinfect the soil to avoid infection by pests and diseases. After taking the plant out of its original pot, rinse off all of its original soil, cut off rotten roots and roots that no longer have vitality; if the roots are relatively long, they can be trimmed appropriately.

2. Planting: When planting, do not cover the soil too firmly, otherwise it will affect the plant's growth. You can hold the plant with one hand and bury the roots with the other; after the roots are all covered, you can appropriately pull the plant upward a little, then continue burying, which can make the plant grow better.

3. Care: After repotting is completed, if the soil is somewhat moist, no watering is needed; if the soil is relatively dry, you can appropriately spray some water so that the soil contains some moisture; place it in a well-ventilated place without sunlight, and after a period of time, once the plant's growth is stable, you can move it to a place with weak sunlight.

II. Precautions

1. During the process of pruning the roots, pay attention to disinfecting and sterilizing the cuts; you can apply some medication that promotes wound healing to avoid infection by pests and diseases.

2. Right after repotting, there is no need to water the plant too much, otherwise it will affect the plant's growth.
