What kind of soil does the gentleman orchid use to support the root and the disadvantage of using pine needle soil?

For the gentleman orchid, the use of rotten leaf soil, pine needle soil is more root-nourishing. Its root system is fleshy root, must use good permeability, loose soil, otherwise, not to mention root cultivation, but also lead to rotting root.

However, there are few nutrients in pine needle soil, and there are a lot of miscellaneous bacteria.

First, what kind of soil should be used to raise the roots

However, it can be said that it contains very few nutrients, it is difficult to rot, and can only play the role of loose soil to a certain extent, so fertilization should not be forgotten during conservation.

2. There are many miscellaneous bacteria: there are so many miscellaneous bacteria in this soil that most flower friends forget to disinfect them before using them, which is a threat to plant growth.
