How to grow orchids and the price of orchids

1. How to grow orchids

Soil selection: When planting orchids, you should choose humus soil with good air permeability. You can mix it with some garden soil to make the soil have certain nutrients.

Choosing a pot: When choosing a pot, try to choose a plastic pot with drainage holes on the sides or bottom. This will help enhance air permeability and facilitate drainage. Because orchids themselves do not like moisture. Or you can use a clay pot, but never use a ceramic pot, as it is not breathable and cannot drain, which can easily cause root rot of the plant.

Potting: When planting, put some broken tiles at the bottom of the pot to enhance drainage. When planting orchids, be careful not to let the soil completely cover the pseudobulbs, leaving a portion exposed to ensure air permeability.

Paving: After planting, spread a layer of fine gravel on the soil. It can enhance aesthetics and also regulate moisture. When it rains, it can also buffer the erosion of rain water.

2. The price of orchids

There is no fixed and unified standard for the price of orchids. Different orchid varieties have different prices. For example, a pot of black orchid costs about 25 yuan, a cymbidium orchid costs about 20 yuan, and a spring orchid costs about 5 yuan. Orchids of ordinary varieties can be bought for a few dollars, but orchids of good varieties, rarity, and high quality are sold by the seedling, and some can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan. Therefore, you should choose orchids based on your own affordability, and the actual price should also be based on the local market.
