Can orchids be grown in succulent soil?

Orchids can be grown in succulent soil. Succulent soil is generally fertile and breathable, and can be used to grow ground-growing orchids. Generally, as long as the environment is suitable, orchids can grow well in succulent soil without any adverse phenomena.

The advantages and disadvantages of succulent orchids

Advantages: Succulent soil is relatively breathable and has good moisture retention. Generally, some breathable materials contained in it can also reduce the generation of water accumulation, which can promote the absorption and growth of orchid roots.

Disadvantages: Succulent soil is generally alkaline, and orchids are acid-loving plants, so planting orchids in succulent soil will inhibit the normal growth of orchids to a certain extent, and will have a certain impact on the growth of roots, stems, leaves and flowers.

How to grow orchids in succulent soil

1. Disinfection: Succulent soil is used to grow succulents, so there may be some debris and bacteria in the soil. Therefore, it can be exposed to the sun before use. Spread it out when drying.

2. Planting: Processed succulent soil generally cannot be used to plant orchids directly. It needs to be used together with some garden soil, river sand, and leaf mold. Only such soil structure can meet the normal growth of orchids.
