The skills of choosing orchid pots

In order to grow national orchids well, it is very important to choose the texture and size of orchid pots. Traditional orchids in Guangdong often use "receptacle" pots with high feet and elongated Lilangen. Most of the pots used for viewing flowers are large pots, and those used for viewing leaves are mostly small pots. In terms of texture, the plain burning basin is used for cultivation, that is, the clay basin, and the glazed basin for exhibition, that is, the porcelain basin.

Vegetarian baking pots are made of highly viscous clay containing iron. When making a plate, it is not coated with any glaze and is fired at a temperature of about 1000 degrees Celsius. If the clay contains a lot of iron, the fired orchid basin is red, otherwise it spits yellow and red. The factor basin has good air permeability and fast divergence of water, so it is very suitable for the cultivation of Orchidaceae. Coupled with the low price, the use is very common.

It is worth introducing the special pot for raising orchids in Japan, that is, "black music burning pot". This kind of basin is made of iron-free special clay and other ingredients, and the glaze coated on the outside is made by special cooling treatment after firing. It is first fired at 1,300 degrees Celsius, taken out a few hours later, cooled to 700 or 800 degrees in the air, and then rapidly cooled in cold water, making the basin uniformly produce many small bubbles, forming many fine pores to facilitate the circulation of air and the evaporation of water. It is one of the best products in the orchid basin so far.

On the basis of making black music pots, Japan has also made a kind of high-priced "golden music pots". This kind of orchid basin uses pure gold paint to burn dragon, Phoenix, bird, wave, lion, orchid and other patterns on the general black music pot to make a noble orchid basin, which is used to cultivate particularly noble orchid species and to be used in exhibitions. The official orchid exhibition or appreciation fair in Japan stipulates that all orchids must be planted in golden pots, and orchids and orchids should be regarded as a kind of artistic cooperation. A good flower must be matched with a good pot to make it more noble. In recent years, Taiwan has promoted the use of plastic pots, with vents in both the bottom and Sichuan basin walls, which are very light and cheap. Guangdong has been produced with specifications of 3.5 inches, 4.5 inches, 5.5 inches, 6.5 inches and so on. (he Qingzheng)
