Orchids that have been cultivated for many years will also have woody roots, which absorb nutrients but do not promote the growth of plants. Therefore, such roots need to be pruned in time to reduce the consumption of nutrients, so as to promote the germination of new roots of orchids. If the cultivation period is improper, rotten roots will also appear, affecting the growth of plants. It is necessary to prune the rotten roots regularly.

Orchids grow faster, and they need to change the pot soil every other year. This can give enough room for the roots to grow. When changing pots, check whether the roots have thin roots and prune them in time to avoid nutrient consumption, thus promoting the growth of orchids.
