You can use rooting powder mixed with water to water the roots, or use aspirin mixed with water and put it in a cool place for 3 hours to hydrolyze before watering the roots. Secondly, nitrogen and potassium fertilizers, organic fertilizers and other fertilizers can also be applied. It is also necessary to maintain appropriate humidity. The air humidity in the growing environment needs to be around 70%. It is better to be wet than dry in the pot. Choose planting materials with good drainage and air permeability to cultivate orchids, such as planting stone, volcanic rock, leaf mold soil, pine needle soil, etc. to prepare culture soil. In this way, the orchid root system will become more developed.

1. Root promotion

If the orchid root system is not developed, the plant will not grow vigorously no matter how you raise it. Therefore, it is necessary to stimulate the roots of orchids to make their root systems more developed and improve their ability to absorb nutrients. The best way to promote roots is to use rooting powder mixed with water to water the roots or use aspirin mixed with water and put it in a cool place for 3 hours to hydrolyze and then water the roots. Use it once every 15 or 30 days to make the orchid's root system more developed.

2. Scientific fertilization

Timely Supplementing your orchid with the right fertilizer can help its root system grow more vigorously. Every 2 weeks or so, dilute orchid-specific organic liquid fertilizer with rich and balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content 1000 times with water, and then water the orchids along the edge of the pot. You can also apply nitrogen and potash fertilizers, organic fertilizers and other fertilizers that are beneficial to the growth of plant roots.

3. Suitable humidity

Orchids like a growing environment with high air humidity, and the humidity inside and outside the pot needs to be maintained at a certain humidity. The air humidity in the growing environment needs to be around 70%, and the pot should be wet rather than dry, so as to facilitate the germination and growth of the orchid root system. Therefore, when caring for orchids, do not place them in a place that is too dry. You can spray orchids frequently to moisturize and maintain air humidity.

4. Suitable planting materials

Orchids like moisture but are afraid of water accumulation, so the planting soil should have good drainage and air permeability. You can use large-grain planting materials to plant orchids, such as planting stones, volcanic rocks, etc. This type of granular planting material is light in texture and very breathable. When combined with some pine bark, it can effectively prevent orchids from getting root rot if the pot soil is too damp.
