2. Can raw sawdust be used for cultivation?

If the orchid seedlings are weak, they need to be maintained in a softer environment. It is recommended to use plant materials with good permeability and containing orchid bacteria. During maintenance, proper shade should be provided and water and fertilizer should be controlled. Do not water unless the soil is dry. Do not fertilize unless the plant's root system has resumed growth. In addition, ventilation should be maintained to provide it with fresh air.

1. What to do if the seedlings are weak

1. Scientific soil preparation: When planting weak orchid seedlings, you must choose appropriate planting materials. Because the root system of weak seedlings is very weak, they must be planted with planting materials with good permeability. In addition, it is best to choose plant materials containing orchid bacteria. Because they can help orchid plants absorb nutrients and help them grow better.

2. Proper shading: Orchids prefer shade, and their weak seedlings cannot withstand strong light. Therefore, when caring for weak seedlings, be sure to place them in a semi-shady place to avoid direct sunlight.

3. Control water and fertilizer: when raising weak seedlings When the time comes, avoid flooding with water and fertilizer. Be sure to strictly control the frequency of watering and fertilizing. Do not water unless the soil is dry. Do not fertilize unless the plant's root system has resumed growth. to avoid placing additional burden on its root system.

4. Keep it ventilated: When maintaining it, keep it ventilated to provide it with fresh air. This can help increase its growth and make it grow stronger faster.

2. Can it be grown with raw sawdust

Sawdust can be used to grow weak orchid seedlings, but it is best not to use sawdust alone to grow orchids. Because it has strong permeability, it is very suitable for the root growth of weak orchid seedlings. But if only sawdust is used to raise it, its weakness of insufficient nutrients will be highlighted. So it is best to use it with some plant materials that are well-fertilized.
