Orchids can also be planted in shallow pots

l. In the natural state, the root system of orchid grows parallel to the surface. Shallow pot cultivation can make the root system let nature take its course, which is more conducive to root growth.

two。 The plant material covered by shallow potted orchid on the root is thin and uniform, and the basin surface is exposed to light and evaporation, which is beneficial to its air permeability, dryness and watering, fast dry-wet cycle and rapid heating up, which can effectively prevent the orchid pot from being wet, often wet and not dry. Reduce rotten roots, black spots and other diseases.

3. By using shallow potted orchids, the dependence on breathable breathing on the pot wall is reduced, and exquisite porcelain pots, purple sand pots and other bonsai pots can be selected to plant orchids, which solves the problem that orchids are not beautiful and difficult to enter the hall of elegance when planting orchids with high and deep mouth and small earthen pots. When the mouth of the basin is enlarged, several kinds of orchids with different height and florescence can be planted in the same basin, or decorated with several rocks to make the orchid basin landscaped and effectively increase its ornamental effect.

Points for attention

l. Use the basin to line moderately, not across the line the better, according to the height of the orchid seedlings and the length of the root to choose the pot, generally in 12 Mel 15 cm depth is more appropriate.

two。 It is better to choose orchids with parallel roots to be planted in shallow pots (such as wild orchids newly descending from the mountain), which is more suitable.

3. When cultivating, it is best to spread a layer of blue stone or volcanic stone at the bottom of the shallow basin, which is more conducive to the growth of orchid root.

4. In management, it should be different from orchids planted in deep pots, and watering should be diligent and fine.
