Raise orchids and go to the mountains. Under the tree, two babies can raise orchids for free.

Raising orchids, looking for soil and plant materials by yourself, is already a common thing. Many Lan masters like to do this, not to save that little money, but to experience some fun, to pass the boredom in the hot season and the long days. Today, let's take a look at the "treasure" found by Lan You, who is called "Cry bravely and laugh hard".

1. The "two babies"

Originally, his original plan was to look for bark, but he didn't find bark later. Instead, he saw this thing in the picture above. There were pine needles and pine cones in the soil under the pine trees, and many of them had rotted under the action of microorganisms. This thing was also one of the " treasures " for raising orchids. It could be mixed into the fine soil to prevent hardening and cultivate roots. He should quickly pack it in a bag.

Of course, he finally got the bark, and it was rotten bark. This is a good thing. We all know that bark mixed with orchid soil can increase air permeability, ensure drainage, and allow orchid roots to do "aerobic respiration". This is excellent for root cultivation, and it can also pad the bottom of the pot and spread the surface of the pot.

2. First step of treatment: sterilization and insecticide

These two things were both good things, but when Master Lan imitated them, it would be best to learn how to handle them first. If they were used well, they would have the best effect. First, after bringing the two things back, two steps had to be done: first, they had to be scalded in boiling water, and second, they had to be exposed to the sun for a day or two.

3. Step 2: How to use the bark?

After doing this step well, our bark had better be decomposed again. The bark is soaked in water and can be used when it turns black. It is safe to use it after it is completely decomposed. Some orchids get their own fertilizer orchids, decomposition is not completely used, it is easy to burn roots, usually fertilization, I suggest that we use completely decomposed flowers to understand orchids organic nutrient solution, this is relatively safe, with bark use effect is also very good.

4. Step 3: How to use pine needle soil?

Where's our pine needle soil? Do not use directly, you had better mix it with some other soil, and then hit a plastic bag or vat to retting soil, add a little carbendazim, add a little insecticide, and then mix a little peel fishing ground, do a hodgepodge soil, retting can be used in the first half of the year.

When the soil was completely decomposed, add a quarter of the fine soil to the orchid pot, and then fish in bark and granular plant materials. Fine soil was very good for cultivating roots, but all coarse particles were not so good. Secondly, fine soil could cultivate orchid fragrance, but without fine soil, flowering would not be so fragrant. This was also the experience of old Lan friend.

Orchid masters, if you have time and mood when raising orchids, you can also try to make some plant materials by yourself. In this way, you can retting soil and plant materials and feel the fun. However, the gardener would like to remind you to pay attention to safety.
