How to plant orchids and how to care for them later

I. How to plant

1. It is best to use a clay pot with good drainage and breathability to care for this plant, and since this plant grows quite tall later on, it is best to use a somewhat deeper one.

2. Since this is a planted specimen, the soil is quite important. Coarse leaf mold can be mixed in, which ensures breathability and also provides fertilizer. Fine soil must not be used, as it is not good for caring for the plant.

3. After the above work is done, planting can begin. Be careful not to bury the plant too deep, but the root system must be fully buried, otherwise it will dry out when exposed to the air. After the soil is firmed in, water is needed. The first watering must be thorough. Later, as long as the soil is moist, there is no need to worry about the plant lacking water.

II. Later care

1. When watering, it is best to use clear spring water or pure natural rainwater. Pay attention to the method: water from one side, otherwise pouring it straight down the middle will surely damage the root system.

2. After the plant gradually grows larger, it should receive sufficient light, and the temperature should be controlled well. Pay attention to fertilizing.
