Orchid growers always think that the best orchid pot is clay pot, which has good air permeability. This is recognized by everyone, but Uncle Li, who has raised orchids for 28 years, doesn't think so. In his eyes, the best orchid flowerpot is a plastic one, which makes Lanyou unable to understand. They think the old man is talking nonsense. If he has no money to buy a clay pot, just say so! But the orchid pots raised by the old people are as strong as grass, so we have to be convinced and go and have a look together.

The old man moved from the countryside to the city. He liked to raise orchids when he was a child. When he moved, he moved several pots of orchids from the countryside to the city. His family lives on the 26th floor, and the balcony faces the sun, so he has to make a sunshade roof.

A few months later, with the same maintenance method, the old man found that the orchids raised in plastic pots grew obviously well, with green leaves and spirit, while the orchids raised in pottery pots were in a general state.

So the old man tried to transplant the orchid in another pottery jar into a plastic jar, and it didn't take long for the result to shine! Why does an orchid have two different results, the same environment, the same planting materials and the same watering and fertilization method?

Finally, the old man found that the maintenance of orchids on the balcony of urban high-rise buildings has changed a lot compared with the cultivation on the ground. If you use a clay pot, not only the surface but also the wall of the pot will evaporate water, while the plastic pot will only evaporate the water on the surface, and the state of nourishing plants will last longer than that of the clay pot! So it grows better. Finally, the old man's blue flowerpots were all replaced with low-priced plastic pots!

The tall building is sunny, dry, windy and fast in water. This is universally acknowledged. Therefore, what the old man said is not unreasonable. If you use a pottery basin, especially in hot summer, it may dry if you don't pay attention, which is definitely not conducive to the growth of orchids.

I don't know if you like raising orchids. what do you think?

Finally, let's see how to choose a pot suitable for growing orchids.

1, economy: plastic pots are definitely the cheapest, with the worst air permeability and the best heat preservation and moisture retention!

2. Breathability: Compared with the breathability of flowerpots, pottery pots have the best breathability, followed by ceramics and purple sand pots, and finally plastic pots. If the ambient air is well ventilated, choose a basin with a wide surface. If the air circulation is poor, it is recommended to choose clay pots first.

3, aesthetics: the most beautiful is the purple sand basin, but it is also the most expensive, the first choice for the rich!

4, moderate size: buy orchid pots, the most taboo small pots and small pots with multiple seedlings. Large pots with small seedlings are easy to cause waterlogging and rotten roots, and pots with many small seedlings are easy to be malnourished. It is best to choose pots with moderate size.
