Do orchids like acidic soil?

Whether you like acid soil or not

Orchids like acidic soil very much, and the ph value of the soil is preferably between 5.5 and 6.5. It will grow better in slightly acidic soil. Do not use alkaline soil to cultivate orchids, this soil is not suitable for its growth, may cause the plant to stop growing. It is best to use soil with good permeability and high nutrients, because the good permeability of the soil is beneficial to the respiration of the roots of the plant, and contains nutrients to support its growth.

Secondly, the drainage capacity of the soil is also stronger, otherwise it will affect the normal discharge of water, and its roots will rot when soaked in water. The last thing is to be clean. There can be no bacteria or eggs in it, so it should be sterilized before use.

2. Soil allocation method

When mixing soil, garden soil and rotten bark can be mixed together, or rotten leaf soil, river sand and the right amount of perlite can be mixed. The bottom of the flowerpot can also put some coarse sand, which can increase the drainage of the soil, the air permeability will also be better, and can make the orchid grow better and stronger.
