Selection of pot for lotus petal orchid

Choose flowerpots that are breathable and easy to absorb heat. The flowerpots generally sold on the market are porcelain, pottery and soil. Flowerpots of various materials are divided into large, medium and small models. According to the cultivation practice of lotus petal orchid for many years, it is proved that soil pot planting is the most suitable and the effect is very good. Soil pots have better air permeability and heat absorption than pottery and porcelain flowerpots, which are most suitable for the growth needs of lotus petal orchids. Now the soil pots fired in Eryuan and Jianmen are widely used by Yilan people to illustrate this point. However, it is not easy to raise orchids with few seedlings in a large soil basin, because there is more soil in the basin, and the moisture absorbed by the seedlings is limited, so the dry humidity of the basin soil can not be effectively controlled. At present, the earth basin sold in the market has a history of hundreds of years, the basin type has not changed much, the size of the native soil basin is unreasonable, the large one is inappropriate, and the small one is too small. In fact, this kind of soil basin was originally made according to the planting requirements of Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue has been cultivated for hundreds of years, and it is a stereotyped variety, which has not changed much naturally, but it is not suitable for planting lotus petal orchids. The number of seedlings of particularly valuable varieties is small, some grasses are of thin-leaf drooping leaf type, and there are also micro-grass varieties, so the large soil basin can not meet the needs of cultivation. The large soil in the basin is not conducive to filtering water but easy to accumulate water, and the temperature of the big soil in the basin is relatively cold before and after winter, which is not conducive to the growth of orchid plants. In addition, the soil basin will be weathered after use in 2012, and alkaline salts will be deposited, which is very harmful to the growth of orchid plants. Although the porcelain flowerpot is beautiful and beautiful, it is airtight and cannot be used to cultivate lotus petal orchids. It can be used as a set of pots to participate in the orchid exhibition. Pottery basin has some advantages of both porcelain basin and earth basin, it is beautiful and generous, small size covers a small area, the most suitable for balcony orchid. However, the pottery basin also has some shortcomings, the air permeability is not as good as the soil basin, this is one of them, the second is that the root of lotus petal orchid is developed and thick, most pottery pots sold on the market are only six inches and four inches. It doesn't match the length of the root. The key to the use of pottery basin is to solve the problem of ventilation and ventilation of cultivation materials and to solve the problem of water filtration and water conservation, so as to make up for the deficiency of pottery basin. The cultivation materials are not only ventilated and permeable, but also filter and conserve water, which is hygienic and convenient to manage. at present, it is very popular to use pottery pot to cultivate Chinese orchid because of solving the problem of air permeability of cultivation materials at home and abroad. Pottery pot cultivation is both artistic and suitable for the cultivation of lotus petal orchid. After several years of practice, it has been proved that if the pottery pot is used to plant lotus petal orchid with few plants and fine leaves, the pot and orchid plants are suitable, and the selected culture materials are appropriate, the cultivation effect is very ideal. Because the basin is small, it is not easy to accumulate water, the temperature is easy to master, and it is easy to keep warm in winter, which is conducive to germination and flowering. Dongchuan basin, which is popular on the market now, except that the height does not adapt to the root length of lotus petal orchid, the effect of cultivation is quite good. Therefore, the pot is very valued in the art orchid world, and the pot is an indispensable part of the orchid planting material and ornamental practical function in the art orchid.
