Lush flowering guaranteed. Just properly transplant an Orchid

Recently I acquired an Orchid that did not want to settle down in a regular plastic pot. It later turned out that the roots of Phalaenopsis have been very sensitive to excess moisture in the tank: gradually, they began to rot.

After searching all the forums of flower growers, I came acrossan unusual tip: repot the Orchid in a wooden basket. I decided to do an experiment, and it proved to be very successful! Shortly after transplant my Orchid threw a large flower stalk, which has a lot of buds.





Transplant orchids in a basket is a great compromise between a plastic pot and a block. Basket provides easy access of air to the roots and prevents their decay.





You will need:

• wooden or bamboo basket
  
  
• sphagnum moss
  
  
• crust (large and small fractions)
  
  

1.Put moss on the bottom and on the walls of the basket.



2.Put a layer of large bark on the bottom of the basket.





3. Place the plant in the basket and fill it smaller bark.





4. Put a final layer of sphagnum.





This basket will look more decorative than plain plastic pot. I prefer to hang it on fishing line from the ceiling, this allows you to save precious space on the windowsill. A basket will be preferable for those types of orchids, which allowed the stems down through the thickness of the substrate (Stanhope, corientes, Dracula). published
