Different people like potted plants to grow different flowers and plants, but no matter what varieties of plants are cultivated in pots, it is very necessary to master certain potted techniques, which is very important for the growth and ornamental value of potted plants in the later stage.

Some potted friends like to raise succulent plants, some like to raise fruit trees and potted plants, and of course others like to raise other plants, but the editor prefers orchids. Today, the editor will share the cultivation techniques of potted orchids with his own pot planting experience, hoping to give you some inspiration.

I. preparation of cultivated soil

When preparing culture soil for potted orchids, we should generally adhere to the principle of looseness and good water permeability, and at the same time, in order to ensure that there are certain nutrients in the potted soil, nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other trace elements can be properly applied. We should also clean up the weeds and gravel in the potted soil, sterilize the potted soil, and take measures to eliminate insect eggs. Only in this way can the cultivated soil be of high quality.

Second, planting orchid seedlings

Before planting orchid seedlings in the basin, we should first make a drainage layer at the bottom of the basin to ensure that too much water can filter out from the drain of the basin floor; then we want to pour the culture soil into the basin until it is about 1 cm away from the edge of the basin; finally, the orchid seedlings can be implanted into the culture soil. However, it should be noted that if the depth of planting orchid seedlings is appropriate, you can use tools to poke a hole in the basin soil, plant the orchid seedlings, and then cover the soil, and the planting depth can be just as deep as the pot soil. In the whole process of planting orchid seedlings, we should be careful to avoid injuring the orchid seedlings.

Third, water the orchid seedlings

After planting orchid seedlings, we need to water them in time to take root. It is appropriate to water thoroughly until there is water flowing out from the bottom of the basin to ensure that the soil in the basin is completely wet and thoroughly, but it does not cause stagnant water. However, if you want to prepare the dry culture soil to be completely soaked, you need to wait for the water to fully permeate the basin soil, so we can carry out the watering process many times in a row, and only after repeated watering can we achieve the effect of soaking.

IV. Placement and maintenance

After finishing the pot and watering, we need to find a suitable place to put the potted plants. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended that the orchid pot be placed in a place with sufficient light, and more on the windowsill. Usually pay attention to observe the growth status of orchid seedlings, if it is found that there is a lack of water in the basin, timely water replenishment measures should be done, at the same time, water can be often sprayed to the orchid plant to keep the plant and basin soil moist. But at the same time to avoid direct light, so as not to sunburn plants, usually think that it can provide scattered light and soft light.

Finally, what we need to do is to always pay attention to the growth process of the orchid plant and wait for it to grow up slowly. Think about it, this is an exciting process, through hands-on operation, we can not only enjoy the joy of planting, but also exercise our patience and carefulness, why not? If you also want to have their own beautiful potted plants, try it quickly!
