Before we cure the rotten roots of orchids, we should first understand why orchids rot roots? Which planting methods or habits cause root rot?

Orchids are fleshy aerial roots, and their roots need a loose, breathable environment. The most common cause of rotten roots is the problem of planting materials. The planting materials are too fine and airtight. It is easy to accumulate water after watering.

If you find that the orchid roots are rotten, good farmers suggest cutting off the rotten roots first, which have carried germs due to decay. Then put it in the sun for three hours. When drying, you need to turn it over so that different parts of the rotten roots can receive sunlight sterilization.

Sun-dried orchids ready to pot, do not use the previous plant material, I use the method is actually very simple, even flower pots do not need. Cover the roots of orchid plants with moss, without tying them tightly. Then put it on a piece of cardboard, spray the moss with a watering can, and let it rest in a cool, ventilated place. Moist moss and cardboard both absorb moisture and provide the moisture needed by the orchid plant as they evaporate, so spray once a week or so.

After resting for about a month, you can see that the orchid root has a crystal head like the one in the picture above. At this time, you can move it back to the flowerpot. The planting material must be clean and light. After the pot is placed, it is mainly watered less. Appropriate acceptance of scattered sunlight irradiation, enhance the resistance of blue plants.
