There has always been a tradition in the cultivation of orchids in China, that is, the humus soil in its original area, which is called "orchid mud" by the local people, is generally selected as the planting substrate. This is because the soil is very rich in nutrients, and also loose, no adhesion. In addition, because of its slight acidity, it is also suitable for the cultivation of broccoli. However, for the northern provinces, this kind of soil is not easy to get, so we can choose sapropel, peat soil, slag and river sand, according to the proportion of two to one, one to one, mix them evenly.
The selection method is relatively simple, and there is no big demand, that is, try to be bigger, not bitten by insects.
This step is also very important. Choose a container with good drainage performance, or the root of the plant will rot if the water in the basin soil is not discharged in time. So, we have to choose the bottom hole, easy to drain
Before sowing, cover the drain hole at the bottom of the container with some broken tiles and lay a layer of window screen. Then, we put in some of our matrix, and then we sow. After spreading, fill in a part of the matrix. After that, we will use the method of basin bottom infiltration to soak the soil in the basin.
First of all, it's sunshine. During this period of time, you can put it in the shade without any light. In addition, the temperature must not be too low. Generally speaking, it is better to control the temperature within the range of 18-25. Again is the moisture, this is also very important, cannot lack.
