Orchid pots and tools

Choose the orchid basin, take the mud basin as the top, easy to grow, followed by purple sand basin, porcelain basin is not conducive to hair growth, but suitable for viewing (see figure). Flower growers advocate the close cooperation of flowers, pots and shelves to make them more beautiful to watch. Therefore, according to the needs of orchid cultivation, you can master it on your own when you put it on the pot, and if necessary, the bottom of the basin can be equipped with a tray to keep the flower rack clean and moist.

The depth of the basin should be deep rather than shallow. It is deeply suitable for the straight extension of the orchid root to make it stretch, and it can keep the basin mud dry but not dry, although the ice is not to the end, the shallow is easy to produce the above disadvantages.

As for the size of the basin, it depends on the size of the orchid. Must not large plant small basin, small plant large basin, this is very important. Some people often think that it is better to have a bigger basin, which is wrong. It has to be the same size. If the basin is large, it is easy to rot the root, but if it is too small, it is difficult to grow. If you use the basin properly, you can keep the orchid basin moist and sprout quickly. Therefore, you can plant a small basin first, and then change the big basin after sending it.

Also note that new flowers had better be old-fashioned with new pots, and old flowers with old pots and new soil.
