Phalaenopsis requirements for soil What soil is Phalaenopsis breeding method Phalaenopsis soil ratio Phalaenopsis, with its elegant posture and gorgeous colors, has become a popular choice for indoor flower breeding. If you want Phalaenopsis to thrive, the choice of soil is crucial. What soil is used for Phalaenopsis breeding methods? This article will provide you with a detailed analysis. Phalaenopsis requirements for soil Phalaenopsis originated in tropical rainforests and has strict requirements on soil. The ideal soil should have good air permeability, drainage and certain water retention. The following are some key points about Phalaenopsis soil selection: 1. Soil permeability: Soil with good air permeability is conducive to the root respiration of Phalaenopsis and promotes its growth. Soil with larger particles, such as peat soil, perlite, etc., should be selected.
2. Soil drainage: Phalaenopsis is not resistant to waterlogging, and poor soil drainage will lead to root decay. Soil with good drainage, such as peat soil, perlite, etc., should be selected.
3. Soil water retention: Although Phalaenopsis is not resistant to waterlogging, too dry the soil will also affect its growth. Soil with moderate water retention, such as peat soil, leaf soil, etc., should be selected. According to the above requirements, the following soils are suitable for Phalaenopsis cultivation: 1. Peat soil: Peat soil has good air permeability, drainage and water retention, and is an ideal soil for Phalaenopsis cultivation, but it needs to be noted that the pH value of peat soil is acidic and needs to be adjusted according to actual conditions.
2. Limus soil: Limus soil is rich in organic matter, which is conducive to the growth of Phalaenopsis. However, Limus soil has poor air permeability and drainage properties and needs to be mixed with other soils.
3. Perlite: Perlite has good air permeability and drainage properties, but poor water retention. It needs to be mixed with other soils to maintain soil balance.
4. Turf soil: Turf soil has good air permeability, drainage and water retention, but the pH value is acidic and needs to be adjusted according to actual conditions. Phalaenopsis soil ratio In the actual breeding process, the above soils can be proportioned according to personal preferences and soil characteristics. The following is a common Phalaenopsis soil ratio plan: peat soil: 60% humus soil: 20% Perlite: 10% vermiculite: 10% What soil is used for cultivating Phalaenopsis? Through the above analysis, we can conclude that peat soil, legular soil, perlite and peat soil are all suitable soils for Phalaenopsis cultivation. In the actual breeding process, the above soils can be proportioned according to personal preferences and soil characteristics. To achieve the best breeding effect.
