How to bury orchid bulbs? Let me teach you the correct planting method

Before burying orchid bulbs, prepare a loose, breathable soil that retains water and nutrients and is rich in humus. Clean the bulbs and place them in a diffused-light environment for 2-3 hours, then soak them in a rooting agent solution or acetylsalicylic acid tablet solution for one hour. After drying, plant them in the soil. After about two months, small side shoots will sprout.

Burying method

1. Prepare the soil

Orchids like to grow in loose, breathable soil that retains water and nutrients and is rich in humus. Generally, the soil choice should be mainly humus, using leaf mold or mountain forest humus soil. Therefore, evenly mix two parts leaf mold, two parts vermiculite, and one part perlite.

2. Bulb treatment

Clean the orchid bulbs thoroughly and place them in a diffused-light environment for 2-3 hours, then soak them in a rooting agent solution or acetylsalicylic acid tablet solution for one hour. Afterward, remove them and place them in a ventilated, breathable environment to dry. Fill the flowerpot with soil and carry out comprehensive disinfection and sterilization.

3. Planting in soil

Plant the dried orchid bulbs in the soil, keep the soil moist, and place the growing pot in a well-ventilated, shady area for care. After about two months, small side shoots will sprout. When the small side shoots grow to 5-6 cm, new root tips can sprout from the base of the bulb.
