The question of whether orchids can change soil during germination.

Everyone has different views on whether orchids can change soil during germination. In the view of nymphomaniac, if you don't change pots or die, you are advised not to change soil. Because each change of soil is bound to hurt the root system, root injury will affect the growth of shoots, and the best time for us to turn the pot and change soil is the peak growth season in spring, followed by autumn. Be sure to avoid it in the middle of summer and winter, so today's nymphomaniac will share what you should pay attention to when changing orchids.

The first is the preparation before changing pots. Water control must be carried out when changing pots for orchids. Generally, water is suspended for at least a week, so that the roots become soft because of lack of water. When changing pots, it is not only not easy to hurt the roots, but also easier to take them out from the flowerpots. Hold the orchid seedlings by hand and buckle the flowerpots upside down to easily take them out.

The second is the treatment of the root system. After removing the orchid from the flowerpot, it is necessary to use sterilized scissors to cut off the blackened, rotten and withered roots, but we must pay attention to the white crystal head at the tip of the orchid root. This is the growing point of the orchid root system. If it is damaged, it will affect the growth of the plant. After pruning the root system, we must pay attention to it. It is best to soak and disinfect it in carbendazim solution or potassium permanganate solution for 10 minutes, then dry it and then replant it.

The third is the choice of planting substrates. There are no fixed restrictions on planting substrates, because everyone has their own convenient substrates. Here we can give you several references. You can plant pure water moss, either orchid stone, bark, peanut shell, or orchid mud (that is, mountain mud rich in humus).

The fourth is the maintenance after planting, the orchids should be maintained in a cool and ventilated position first, and the pot soil must be completely watered through, and after 10-15 days, it can be moved to the normal environment for maintenance.
