How to grow orchids in pots best (how to grow orchids to survive easily)

What are the best ways to grow orchids?

In fact, if you want to grow orchids well, you need to first understand the growth habits of orchids, and then you can manage the soil, water, fertilizer, wind, light, humidity, etc. according to the growth characteristics of orchids.

In other words, the key to growing orchids well lies in "knowing their habits". Only by understanding the growth and development habits of orchids can you grow orchids well.

The basic characteristics of orchids are: "They like moisture but are afraid of humidity, they like dryness but are afraid of dryness." Good water control is beneficial to the respiration of orchid roots, which can not only make orchids sprout more, but also promote the healthy growth of orchid seedlings.

On the contrary, if water is not well managed, root rot, leaf burnt, seedling rot, and even orchid withering will occur.

As the saying goes, "It takes one year to master orchid cultivation and three years to water them." This sentence reveals the difficulty of watering orchids. It takes a long period of practice and exploration to master it .

Ventilation is the first priority for orchid cultivation

Orchids have aerial roots. Only if the ventilation and air permeability are good can orchids grow vigorously and have a developed root system.

There are three main aspects of ventilation

First, the orchid-growing environment should have good air circulation to ensure the respiration of the orchid plants.

Second, the planting material should be loose and breathable to ensure that more crystal heads grow at the roots.

Third, the stomata on the orchid leaves are not blocked, which can keep the leaves breathing smoothly.

In this way, the orchid leaves can smoothly transport air, water, fertilizer, medicine, etc. to the reed head and roots.

Reasonable diffuse lighting

It is a necessary condition for orchids to thrive. If there is sufficient light, the orchid seedlings will be healthy and strong; if there is insufficient light, the orchid leaves will be weak and thin.

Only by providing appropriate sunlight can orchids be provided with good photosynthesis, making the pseudobulbs plump and storing sufficient nutrients, which is conducive to the growth of orchid seedlings and the nurturing of flower buds, so that orchids can grow strong.

In short, it is not an easy task to grow orchids well. However, everything should be done in accordance with their nature. As long as orchid lovers maintain and manage orchids according to their growth habits, there will be no orchids that cannot be kept alive .

Of course, if you want to make orchids bloom, further maintenance measures are needed, such as the selection of planting materials, the supply of fertilizer and water, the control of humidity, the elimination of diseases and pests, etc., which are all indispensable links in orchid cultivation.
