How deep should the bulbs of the purple root orchid be planted
If you want to know about the experience of growing the bulbous flower purple root orchid, how deep should the bulbs of the purple root orchid be planted? The following is a detailed introduction for you.
You may be unfamiliar with the purple root orchid and find it difficult to grow. Some flower enthusiasts even asked me how deep to plant the bulbs of the purple root orchid. Here is something I need to tell the flower enthusiasts, which is about the issue of how much of the bulb should be above the ground surface. Like the red pine, exposing a part of the bulb above the soil surface helps with blooming. There is a saying that if the bulb of the purple root orchid is buried too deep, it is prone to bulb growth but not blooming.
The large bulb in the picture above is the flowering bulb. We can see that the bulb is above the soil surface, but the surrounding seedlings are different, as deeper planting results in bulb growth, while shallow planting promotes flowering.
Therefore, it is recommended that if the purple root orchid has a small bulb, currently the focus is on bulb growth, and it can be planted with about 2 cm of soil coverage. If it is already a flowering bulb, there is no need to plant it too deep, just exposing the bulb 1-2 cm above the soil surface.
In this picture of the purple root orchid, some flower enthusiasts think it is planted too deep. However, if it has not reached the flowering bulb age, there is no need to worry too much.
The purple root orchid and the red pine have similar care methods, so if you encounter other issues related to the care of the purple root orchid that you don't understand, you can use the solutions for the red pine.
The above is the related content about how deep the bulbs of the purple root orchid should be planted (deep burial for bulb growth, shallow burial for flowering), hoping it is helpful to you!
