Article Catalog

The orchid's dissatisfaction with the pot is mainly reflected in three aspects: leaves, buds and roots. The leaves are wilted, dull, with curved and dry edges, and may even become dehydrated. In severe cases, black spots and scorched tails may appear on the leaves. No new buds have emerged for a long time, or new buds have grown, but the growth rate is slow and it is difficult to establish seedlings. The root growth is underdeveloped. Although roots or new roots may grow, they are not normal. In addition, the roots are hard and inelastic. If the orchid has the above conditions, it means that it has not been potted.

1. Performance

1. Leaves: The leaves are wilted, dull, with curved and dry edges, and may even appear dehydrated. In severe cases, black spots and scorched tails may appear on the leaves. This means that the plant is not in the pot.

2. Leaf buds: No new buds have emerged for a long time. Or the plant may have new buds growing, but the growth rate is slow and it is difficult to establish seedlings. Even if the leaf buds are unearthed, but stiff buds appear, it means that the orchidhas not filled the pot.

3. Roots: Without a pot, the roots of the orchid will not grow well. Although roots or new roots will grow, they will not be normal. Or the orchid roots are not growing, and the new seedlings that should be taking root are not taking root either. Additionally, the roots will be stiff and inelastic.

2. Solution

1 .The most critical way to deal with orchids that are not accommodating to the pot is to revive the orchids from their dormant state and resume normal growth. Plants can be fully cultured to force them to recover.

2. To raise orchids, you must first raise the roots, and the key to raising orchid roots lies in the planting material. If the planting material is not suitable, the orchid will not accept the pot. So the potting soil may need to be replaced. You should choose granular orchid planting materials, because granular planting materials have good air permeability, drain water and retain moisture, which is conducive to the growth and breathing of orchid roots. The particle size is about 0.5-2cm.

3. Improper maintenance environment will also cause orchids to suffer. Pot difficulty. During the potting period, it is best to place the plants in a well-ventilated, cool place without direct sunlight for maintenance. In this way, the yellowing of the orchid leaves will be greatly reduced.

4. Excessive watering after potting will cause the orchid root system to breathe poorly and affect its normal root development. And the pot soil is too wet, which can easily breed bacteria. When the orchid is first potted, the soil in the pot should be a little drier, which is more conducive to the plant filling the pot and the growth of new roots.
