Orchid plant material is still this kind of good for three years without fertilization, flourishing leaves, sprouting and blooming fragrance

Now the materials of orchid cultivation can be said to be varied, and the reason why many novice orchids can not raise orchids is basically related to planting materials and conservation. Most flower friends only consider the looseness and permeability of the plant, but ignore the need of orchid root in the growth. Some flower friends use a variety of media to configure the plant material, although loose and breathable, but the nutrients in the plant material are not balanced, and the orchid plant does not grow well all the time. The author has raised orchids for many years, but only one kind of plant material has been used and never fertilized, but the orchid plant has grown black and shiny. Today, I specially analyze my experience of raising orchids for your reference.

Orchids and other plants, if you want to raise it well, you must obey its growth habits. We all know that wild orchids grow in the topsoil layer in deep mountains and dense forests. They are unmanaged and endure wind and rain all the year round, but they are very dense and exuberant. Because the fleshy roots of orchids like this environment. Many people because the use of only one material for raising orchids will affect ventilation and cause rotten roots. But the author raised orchids for many years with rotten leaf soil on the mountain to add cow dung and sand, breeding for many years has never found the phenomenon of rotten roots. And the management is also very easy, only need to water every few days, do not need to apply fertilizer all the year round, grow better than fertilizer.

The author has used two kinds of plant materials, the first is to use rotten leaf soil on the mountain + sand + cow dung, the second is to use pond mud + sand, but the pond mud needs to be dried on the ground and burned with firewood for 20 minutes, and then add sand. There is no need to fertilize these two kinds of plants to cultivate orchids, and the pots can be changed again after three years. However, the pond mud where the author lives is very little, and rotten leaf soil is generally used. Because this kind of soil has comprehensive nutrients, coupled with sand and cow dung, long-term use of the soil will not be hardened, loose and breathable is also very good, usually only need to master watering.

Using this kind of plant material to raise orchids is also easy to master in watering, as long as you have a good grasp of three points of moisture and seven minutes of dryness. At first, the simplest method can be used, that is, before watering, you can use your hands to pick up the soil layer about 3 centimeters along the edge of the basin. If the soil below is wet, you don't need to water it. If the soil below is still dry, it needs watering. Watering does not have any skills and secrets, need to be flexibly mastered according to the actual situation, practice makes perfect, a long time, naturally know when to water, when can not water. The above is the author raise orchid a little experience, hope to give you some inspiration. And welcome everyone to exchange their own breeding experience at any time.
