EXUBERANT AND HEALTHY ORCHIDS: THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE

To know how to grow an orchid perfectly, you need to know the basics of this plant, in fact, it is good to start with the roots. To keep it healthy, you will have to put it in a pot of any kind, be it terracotta, plastic or even fabric.

But the best option you can take is to grow it in a glass or transparent pot, so that its roots receive the appropriate amount of light. If you have at least one, you will have noticed that the roots are covered in a white layer , because this way the plant can absorb the correct amount of water.

Transparent pots are  also very useful for continuously checking the health of the plant. In addition, the roots are all aerial, so orchids do not need to grow in soil. But not everyone knows that another element can be used to make them grow in perfect health. From the first days, you will see that they will be super lush . The process is really simple: let’s find out more.

Use this material instead of soil: amazing result

Not everyone knows that, to keep orchids healthy and blooming, it is necessary to put an element instead of soil. It is a material that few people know about: perlite.

Why is it good for this plant?

Perlite is of volcanic origin, making it an excellent thermal insulator. In addition, it favors the rooting of the branches.

The appearance is very similar to that of polystyrene balls, in fact, perlite is white  and very light, it does not even alter the  pH of the orchid . Nurserymen use it to promote the growth and development of plants, since it allows the plant to receive water properly and facilitates the respiration of the roots, since it does not compact like soil and therefore it is impossible for water to stagnate.
