The making of basin frame

The orchid room should be equipped with a framework for placing orchid pots, and the orchids should be suspended for cultivation to achieve ventilation and promote the root system of orchid seedlings to be strong and developed. Practice has proved that the effect of pot orchid cultivation on the pot rack is not the same as that on the ground. In the former, due to sufficient light, ventilation and ventilation, the root system of orchid seedlings was strong and developed, and the false bulb was formed early. Early fruiting and full, orchid green and strong, germination rate. The flowering rate was high. In the latter, the relative light is insufficient, the ventilation is poor, the root system of orchid seedling is small and thin, the false bulb is small and mature late, the orchid plant is dark green and tender, and the flower setting rate and bud germination rate are obviously lower.

The orchid pot frame can be made of wood (Chinese fir is better) or steel. The wood basin frame can be made of 8cm X6cm square wood as the frame and 5cm X3cm square wood as the branch nail. The frame is 120 cm wide and its length depends on the actual situation. Because the humidity in the orchid room is high all the year round and the wood is easy to rot, it is best to be made of steel. The steel basin frame can be framed with angle steel and welded with square steel in the middle. The height of the basin frame can be about 50 cm, and the width between the strips is 12 cm (orchid basin) and 8 cm (line spacing) respectively. Antirust paint should be applied before use to improve service life. Can also be made of galvanized steel pipe, galvanized steel pipe is not easy to rust, but the cost is high.
