Orchids are considered capricious flowers, and many beginners in ornamental plant cultivation complain that after purchasing them they cannot preserve the flower until the next flowering. To avoid such problems, there are several important factors to consider.
Firstly, you should not plant an orchid in ordinary soil. The soil from the ground does not allow the roots of the orchid to be sufficiently ventilated and they can rot. Instead, you need to prepare a special substrate. May contain: expanded clay, bark flakes, coconut fiber, pieces of baked clay and charcoal.
Secondly, when choosing a vase, you need to give preference to a transparent flowerpot. The roots of the orchid, together with the above-ground part, participate in the process of photosynthesis, and an opaque pot can lead to a lack of light and, as a result, a lack of nutrients.
