Nine out of ten orchids choose it to plant gold stone and orchids. You may not be suitable for it.

When growing orchids, many novice orchids will consider the selection of plant materials and basin soil. How to choose plant materials is a headache for many new orchids. Some orchids say that growing orchids with volcanic stones can play a role in moisturizing. Some orchids say that using red mud stone is very good, very moisturizing is fragile, but more orchids will choose to plant gold stone orchids, almost nine out of ten orchids choose it. Today, the author will talk about planting gold stone and planting orchids.

First of all, let's talk about the high-grade orchid culture stone introduced by Japan. It is a kind of volcanic stone, which releases a lot of gas and heat after a volcanic eruption. It is porous, light, and can quickly absorb nutrients and retain moisture after a special temperature, so it has the characteristics of light body, drainage, moisturizing and air permeability. Later, it was introduced from Taiwan to the mainland and named it. Thus widely used in high-end orchid planting.

Why so many orchids choose to plant gold and stone to grow orchids is mainly due to the psychological role of people, feeling that cheap plants are not worthy of high-end orchids. In fact, planting gold stone is a diuresis plant material, no nutrition, the purpose is to make the plant material have a certain degree of permeability. In fact, there are many things that can replace phytolith, such as: light stone, sea pumice, perlite, brick, volcanic stone, burning soil, wind fossils, diatomite and so on. These inorganic materials do not have to be added. Pure organic materials can also raise orchids, pure bark, pure peanut shells and pure mountain soil.

One of the orchid friends of the author used the gold plant stone for two or three years, and then replaced it with diatom particles. The reason was that the orchids grew poorly last year and most of the seedlings did not grow well because they were not watered in time. The main reason is that the water retention capacity of planting gold stone is limited.

Recently, it is felt that the moisturizing ability of diatom particles is almost twice as good as that of alchemy. Specifically, the surface of the plant mixed with half of the gold stone is white, and the plant mixed with half of the diatom particles is still wet. The moist plant material is intermingled with several pots of white and boring plant material, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. So tonight, taking advantage of the moonlight, I picked out all the phytolith from one of the mini-pot plants. Replace it with diatom particles with good water retention and good permeability, so that you can sleep for an extra hour at night in summer.

There are also orchids who grow orchids with pine needles. The roots of orchids are many and thick, and many orchid friends dispute the gold plant stone, because the plant gold stone is alkaline, but it is a kind of volcanic stone, which is relatively light, can quickly absorb nutrients and has good water retention performance. so orchid friends have different opinions. If you do not want to use gold plant stone, you can also use perlite, ceramic, broken brick particles, etc., if you want to use all kinds of hard fruit shells, sawdust, branches and bark, be sure to disinfect and dry before using.
