Methods and precautions of raising orchids
The methods and precautions of raising orchids include replacing new flowerpots regularly, pruning orchid plants in time, supplementing proper nutrients and water in time, configuring suitable planting materials and selecting suitable soil.

1.? Replace new flowerpots regularly.

Orchids have been cultivated for a long time, so it is necessary to replace the old flowerpots and disinfect the new flowerpots. The flowerpot used for cultivating orchids is preferably a ceramic flowerpot. After replacing the new flowerpot, the damaged part of the orchid plant should be trimmed to avoid bringing germs into the new flowerpot.

2.? Prune orchids in time

When cultivating orchids, the withered branches and leaves should be pruned clean, and when the buds bloom, the buds on the side branches should be removed to avoid the consumption of nutrients. For orchid branches and leaves that are too long and too dense, they should also be trimmed shorter to let the plants grow new branches and leaves.

3.? Timely supplement the right amount of nutrition and water.

Orchids do not have a strong demand for nutrients. Too much fertilizer will drag down plants, but it will hurt them. Organic fertilizer can be applied to orchids every 60 days or so. More nitrogen fertilizer can be applied during its growth period, and more fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium can be applied before and after flowering.

4.? Distribute suitable planting materials

When cultivating orchids, planting materials are very important. Orchid planting materials can be prepared by mixing humus soil with peanut shells, coarse sand and pine needle soil.

5.? Choose the right soil

The first thing you need to pay attention to in potted orchids is soil selection. Orchids like to grow on fertile land, which can be mixed with peat soil, pastoral soil, moss, rotten leaves and so on. When planting for the first time, you can spread a layer of broken bricks and gravel at the bottom of the basin.
