The life force of the orchid is very tenacious, and there is not much requirement for the soil, but it is better to use the one with better drainage performance, instead of accumulating water at the root. It can be made up of sapropel, garden soil and river sand. It is forbidden to use pure clay or sand soil. The flowerpot used does not need to be too large, it can match the size of the plant. Attention should also be paid to lighting, watering, temperature and other conditions.

How to mix soil

Originally grown in South Africa, it has a very strong vitality and does not need too much maintenance and care. There are not too many requirements for living soil, which is not very strict, but it is better to use the soil with better drainage performance, which can not accumulate water at the root and cause a burden on the root, so there is no way to fully absorb it. It can be compounded with saprophytic soil, garden soil and river sand, which can not only ensure nutrient supply, but also air permeability. Do not use pure clay or sand soil, which will cause root rot.

How large is the basin?

The flowerpot used doesn't need to be too large. It can match the size of the plant. It can't be too large, which is easy to cause water in the flowerpot.

III. other maintenance

1. Light: it likes light, but it can stand shade. It can be placed in a bright place for maintenance, so as to promote its better growth.

2. Watering: we don't need to pay too much attention to this aspect, and we can't do too much. In summer, water should be poured twice a week, and in winter, once a month. Wait until the inside is dry before the next pouring

3. Temperature: 18 to 30 degrees is the best temperature.
