Orchid growth habits

Orchids are suitable for growing in loose, breathable and fertile soil. When cultivating orchids, it is necessary to use a mixture of leaf mold, sandy soil and garden soil, and add potassium permanganate solution into the soil to disinfect and sterilize it, which is conducive to the healthy growth of orchids.
