What kind of soil does the orchid grow and blossom for several years?

Crane orchid is best raised with fertile, breathable and well-drained soil, because its root is fleshy root, poor ventilation and drainage will damage the root. You can also use rotten leaf soil, garden soil, coarse sand and cinder particles to prepare soil, do not have worm eggs in the soil, sterilize and disinfect before use. Generally speaking, it will not blossom until it is cultured for at least 3 years, and it may blossom when it grows for 4-5 years.

I. Culture soil

It is best to use fertile soil with high air permeability and strong drainage capacity, because its root system is also fleshy, if it can not meet the requirements of ventilation and drainage, it may affect its growth. It is also good to prepare your own soil, just mix rotten leaf soil, garden soil, coarse sand and cinder particles. In addition, the use of barren soil should also add a certain amount of base fertilizer, which can help the plant grow.

Note that there should be no eggs in the cultivated soil, and sterilization should be done in advance, otherwise its roots will be endangered during cultivation.

Second, keep it in bloom for a few years

In general, it takes at least 3 years from sowing to flowering. However, the maintenance method will also have an impact on its flowering, and it is also possible to grow for 4-5 years before flowering. The premise of its flowering is that when the leaves grow to 9-10, if there are too few leaves, it will be difficult to blossom.

If the family maintenance does not blossom when it expires, it is necessary to consider whether there is a problem with the maintenance. Usually, the application of too much nitrogen fertilizer and the inappropriate size of the flowerpot will hinder its flowering.
