1. The principle of hard planting material

2. Hard plant material maintenance

Hard planting material is a mixture of volcanic rock, yellow granite, coconut shell, charcoal particles, etc. It has very good air permeability. It allows orchids to absorb water more evenly and allows the roots to grow stronger. However, its water retention ability is not good, so you need to water it frequently, open windows for ventilation after watering, and increase the amount of light appropriately to avoid root congestion.

1. Principle of hard planting materials

Hard planting materials for growing orchids are a mixture of volcanic rocks, yellow granite, coconut shells, charcoal particles, etc. They have good air permeability and are very suitable for rainfall. Planted where abundant. If you use hard planting material for planting, the plant will absorb water more evenly and the root system will be stronger. However, the water-holding capacity of hard plant material is relatively weak, and it needs to be watered more often to meet its water needs.

2. Hard plant material maintenance

1. Light: If you use hard planting materials to cultivate orchids, you need as much sun as possible, because if they are cultivated in a shady place, they will not receive sunlight for a long time, which will be detrimental to their growth.

2. Ventilation: Because the water retention of this plant material is not good. Okay, so many flower lovers will water it frequently, and sometimes it will become stuffy and wet because of poor control of the frequency of watering. Therefore, it is necessary to ventilate more during the maintenance period and open more windows when growing indoors, so as to avoid root congestion.

3. Watering: Although you need to water it more when using hard planting material, you should not overwater it too frequently. When the weather is good, watering can be done every day, but if the weather is bad, it must be delayed for a few days to prevent excess moisture from being produced in the substrate.
