Orchids are among the most beloved plants for their beauty and elegance, but they can often be delicate to grow. However, there is a simple and effective method to make them grow faster and achieve abundant blooms . Discover the trick to planting your orchid correctly and seeing it bloom in no time!
1. Choose the right pot and substrate
- Orchids do not like traditional soils, but prefer light, well-aerated substrates.
- Use a transparent pot with drainage holes: this allows you to monitor the condition of the roots and promotes photosynthesis.
- Opt for a specific substrate for orchids, composed of pine bark, coconut fiber and perlite , which guarantees the right level of humidity and oxygenation.
2. The trick of correct repotting
- The best time to repot an orchid is immediately after flowering.
- Gently remove the plant from the old pot.
- Remove dry or damaged roots using disinfected scissors.
- Soak the roots in warm water for 15-20 minutes before planting them in the new substrate. This step helps the roots absorb moisture better and promotes faster growth.
3. Perfect location and light
- Light is essential to stimulate the growth and flowering of orchids.
- Place the plant in a bright but indirectly lit location , such as near an east- or west-facing window.
- Avoid direct sunlight which may burn the leaves.
4. Watering and controlled humidity
