It is usually mixed with saprophyll soil, bark, charcoal, broken bricks, fern roots, etc., so that the prepared soil is soft, breathable, humus-rich and has strong drainage ability, which is conducive to orchid growth.
Can also be mixed with laterite and saprophyll soil, the approximate ratio is carried out according to 3:7, so that the preparation method is simple, it is easy to obtain materials in life, and it can also maintain the basic needs of orchids.
First, the preparation method of orchid soil
The root system of the orchid is fleshy, and the requirements for the soil are very high, and it must be soft, breathable, humus-rich soil, so that the soil environment can ensure its vigorous growth. The soil is usually mixed with saprophyll soil, bark, charcoal, broken bricks, fern roots, etc., which can meet the needs very well.
If the materials at home are insufficient and it is inconvenient to obtain, it can also be mixed with laterite and saprophyte soil, and the ratio is carried out according to 3:7, so that the preparation can also meet the basic needs of orchids, which can maintain normal growth and be easy to obtain.

Second, the precautions for orchid soil
The prepared orchid soil must be disinfected before it can be used. It can be directly placed in the sun under strong light for disinfection, and can also be disinfected with a special disinfection solution to avoid residual bacteria, germs, insect eggs, etc. in the soil, which endangers the growth of orchids. If you feel troublesome, it is recommended to buy special soil for orchids, flower shops generally have sales, can meet the needs of orchids, do not need to disinfect, can be used directly. In addition, the soil must be changed once every 1-2 years during the maintenance of orchids, otherwise the soil is easy to compact and will affect growth.

Third, orchids and other convenient maintenance
Watering: Orchids like a humid potting environment, but are not tolerant of waterlogging, during breeding to control the amount of water, watering through the line, strictly prohibit the accumulation of water. If the environment is relatively dry, it is necessary to spray water frequently to ensure a certain humidity.
Temperature: Orchids prefer warm environments, have high temperature requirements, and are afraid of high and low temperatures. It is best to provide an environment of 15-25 °C during rearing. In the summer, ventilation must be strengthened, and in winter, the orchids should be moved indoors, and the temperature control should be above 10 ° C, so as to ensure the vigorous growth of orchids.

Fertilization: If you want the orchid to grow vigorously during the cultivation period, you must regularly topdress it during the peak season. Usually, it is necessary to spray the fertilizer liquid once every 20 days, or to water the fertilizer solution on the surface of the soil to supplement nutrients, and the fertilizer seed is carried out according to the growth stage, which promotes its vigorous growth and better flowering. The temperature in summer and winter is uncomfortable, and it is necessary to stop the fertilizer to avoid fertilizer damage.
