Cultivation of Phalaenopsis on peat soil

Phalaenopsis sold in the market are all packed in plastic pots and cultivated with moss. I have bought several pots and planted them on balconies, all of which die because of rotten roots. In the spring of 2003, the remaining 3 pots of Phalaenopsis were taken out from the plastic pots, and the rotten roots were removed and planted in porcelain pots. The cultivation substrate was peat soil. Planted more than two months to find new leaves germination in the heart of Phalaenopsis, with peat soil as substrate cultivation Phalaenopsis has been nearly 4 years, has been growing very well, flowering year after year.

Can choose to have some fibrous peat soil, soil pieces broken into coarse powder, put the sun exposure for 5 to 7 days. According to the proportion of 1 part of river sand and 4 parts of peat soil, stir evenly for later use. Before putting on the basin, spray water evenly on the dry peat soil to make it moist, grasp it by hand into a group and touch it to disperse it into humidity. Cover the leakage hole of the bottom of the pot with a small pottery piece, first load about two centimeters of clean coarse river sand, and then put a layer of peat soil. The root tips of the planted Phalaenopsis are in contact with the peat soil placed in the bottom of the pot. In addition, the mixed peat soil gently vibrates the flowerpot from time to time, so that the peat soil and the orchid root are better combined and fixed. After the soil is finished, water should be poured once, put on the balcony for conventional cultivation management, water again when the surface of the basin soil turns white, pour out the basin bottom tray if there is accumulated water, loosen the soil with hard objects such as bamboo sticks if the basin soil is hardened.
