Matters needing attention in turning the pot of orchids

First, pay attention to the disinfection of old orchid pots or the reuse of original orchid pots, they must be washed with clean water and dried in the sun, which can play the role of disinfection and sterilization. Newly used pots (such as plain roasting pots) should be soaked in water for a period of time before they can be used, which is both clean and eliminate "fire".

Second, pay attention to the size and height of the orchid basin, mainly according to the species of orchids, the number of orchid plants and the robust degree of orchid seedlings. If there are more plants and the growth is prosperous, you should choose a larger caliber orchid basin. Small seedlings and weak seedlings can not be planted in large pots and deep pots, and large seedlings can not be planted in small pots and shallow pots. In general, cymbidium and Jianlan pots choose slightly larger and deeper pots, while Chunlan pots choose smaller and shallower ones.

Third, pay attention to cover the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin with a window screen and press a tile on the screen to prevent the loss of basin soil without losing the function of drainage. If it is a deep basin, in addition to tiles, fill the basin with white plastic foam with a height of 1 canopy 5, or coarse-grained fairy soil to form the drainage layer of the basin bottom, and then lay a layer of culture matrix to plant orchid.

Fourth, pay attention to the planting of Fuzheng orchid plants: if only one clump is planted in a pot, the old corm should be partial to one side of the pot orchid, leaving room for development in the future. Use your hands to straighten the orchid plant and try not to let the orchid plant crowd together.

Filler plant orchid: hold the orchid in one hand and shovel the planting material in the other. When the planting material is covered up to the bulb, lift the orchid plant gently up, causing the root system to stretch more. At the same time, shake the orchid basin so that the plant is close to the root.

The depth of planting orchid should be moderate: the corm of Cymbidium should be slightly exposed, and the corm of Cymbidium should be completely covered.

Fifth, pay attention to the post-planting management after turning the basin should be placed in a semi-shaded and well-ventilated place, and then carefully irrigated in the topsoil with a spray can with small nozzle holes. Note that the fixed root water must be watered thoroughly. Normal management can be carried out after 10 to 15 days.
