1、 What kind of soil is suitable for raising orchids at home

The roots of orchids are fleshy roots, which are more afraid of water logging. Therefore, when maintaining orchids, it is necessary to use soil with good permeability and drainage. In addition, its growth also needs the support of nutrients, so it is suggested to cultivate it in thicker soil

2、 How to prepare planting materials for domestic orchids

1. Ground orchid: ground orchid is an orchid variety directly rooted in soil. During maintenance, the cultivation soil can be prepared by mixing peat soil or rotten leaf soil, fairy soil, river sand, perlite and a small amount of base fertilizer

2. Epiphytic orchid: epiphytic orchid is an orchid variety attached to other trees. During curing, some special culture substrates need to be used for its attachment. During curing, seaweed, rotten bark, pine needle soil, ceramsite, gravel and other items can be mixed to prepare its plant material

3、 Can you grow orchids with yellow mud

It's best not to plant orchids with yellow mud. Because the permeability and drainage of this soil are not very good, planting orchids with it is not conducive to the growth of orchid roots, and it is easy to lead to rotten roots. Moreover, this kind of soil is easy to become very sticky and heavy after watering, which will bring a great burden to the roots of orchids. If yellow mud must be used for planting, it is recommended to mix the yellow mud with garden soil, rotten leaf soil and other soil to prepare the soil for planting orchids
