1、 What kind of soil do you use to change pots for orchids

When changing pots for orchids, you need to use plant materials that are breathable, moisturizing and contain certain nutrients. Moreover, when changing soil, we should pay attention to that orchids are mainly divided into epiphytic orchids and terrestrial orchids. When changing soil for these two orchids, we should also choose different planting materials

1. What plant material does epiphytic orchid use

Because epiphytic orchids are orchids that grow on rocks or other trees, they cannot be cultured in general culture soil. When changing soil for it, it is suggested to mix rotten bark, crushed stones, water moss, ceramsite, tree fern root, charcoal and volcanic stone as breeding plant materials. This kind of plant material is breathable enough and suitable for its growth

2. What plant material is used for ground orchid

Terrestrial orchids can be directly rooted in the soil and grow, so they can be mixed with rotten leaf soil, peat soil, river sand and other soils to prepare plant materials. Before changing the basin, a layer of pebbles or ceramsite can be paved at the bottom of the basin as a drainage layer to prevent ponding of plant materials. After planting, a layer of volcanic stone, fairy soil or water moss can be paved at the top

2、 Can you raise orchids in the fleshy soil

Generally speaking, epiphytic orchids cannot be directly cultivated with fleshy soil. However, terrestrial orchids can be raised in fleshy soil. Because the fleshy soil also needs to meet the basic conditions of ventilation, moisture retention, hypertrophy and so on. For terrestrial orchids, such a growth environment is also very suitable
