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 across
an 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
