Five key points for the selection and purchase of orchid pots

1. "tall": because orchids have well-developed roots, it is necessary to put tiles, broken bricks and charcoal in the pot when planting orchids in order to facilitate ventilation, so it is more appropriate to choose deep pot orchids.

2. Economy: economy is a factor that must be considered for all orchid farmers. In general, large-scale orchid cultivation in orchids will choose plastic pots. The reason why plastic pots are chosen at the expense of breathability is that plastic pots are cheap, such as individual orchids. If the quantity is small and the pursuit of beauty, purple sand pots are recommended. I have bought purple sand pots, and the price of flowerpots is ten times the price of orchids. It's just a hobby. Therefore, the purchase of pots should be done according to capacity, there is no need to deliberately pursue the effect, no kind of orchid must use what pot said.

3. Air permeability: compared with the air permeability of flowerpots, mud pots are the most breathable, followed by ceramic and purple sand pots, and finally plastic pots. If the ambient air circulation is better, choose the basin surface is relatively wide, if in the poor air circulation environment, it is recommended to choose the mud basin.

4. Aesthetics: most family friends who raise orchids do not have a large number of orchids and pursue the elegant artistic conception of orchids, so it is recommended to buy purple sand pots, and many pots are even a little colorful and talented in the glaze. It is the first choice for orchid farmers who pursue artistic conception.

5, moderate size: choose and buy orchid pots, the most taboo small seedlings large pots and multi-seedling small pots. Small seedlings and large pots are easy to cause waterlogged rotten roots, and multi-seedlings and small pots are easy to be malnourished, so it is best to choose pots of moderate size. According to my immature experience, taking the orchid pot with high waist as an example, the orchid with a height of about 4 seedlings should be selected with a height of about 25cm and a basin mouth diameter of about 18cm. Cymbidium has strong roots, and the selection and purchase of pots should be fully considered.

This is the end of the question about the selection and purchase of orchid pots. I hope friends who want potted orchids can refer to it. Only the right one is the best.
