How to care for newly acquired orchids? The key lies in adapting them to the pot, which requires taking these points into consideration
It is undeniable that the emergence of online shopping, such as purchasing through the internet, has greatly solved many inconveniences in people's lives. For example, plant enthusiasts can purchase various plants at low prices without leaving their homes.
When it comes to orchids, although there are many different types of plants under this name, most are rare and precious varieties, which are not commonly seen in daily life, and those who want to cultivate them can only obtain them through special channels.
However, according to many netizens, the orchids they bought online with great excitement have commonly encountered problems such as僵苗 (stunted growth) or difficulty adapting to the pot. The problem actually lies in the preparation before potting, as some friends failed to make the necessary preparations. Today, I have compiled four tips to help orchids adapt to the pot as quickly as possible, ensuring that after this process, the plants not only avoid stunted growth but also produce more sprouts.
Firstly, after obtaining the orchid seedlings, the urgent task is to carefully inspect the plant's roots. If it is found that the roots may have lost a significant amount of moisture due to long-distance transportation, one should immediately spray the orchid roots with water from a spray bottle filled with clean water, in small amounts and multiple times, with a frequency of once every 1-2 hours being ideal. Generally, after a few times, the plant's condition will improve significantly. During this process, everyone should be careful to avoid letting water droplets contact the flower's heart, as this may cause root rot.

Secondly, the treatment of the orchid's roots still needs attention, which involves cutting off some withered or decayed-looking fibrous roots. For safety, weak roots should also be trimmed. Then, immerse the plant in a diluted solution of carbendazim for half an hour, which can effectively kill bacteria and viruses. Similarly, during this process, one should be careful not to let water enter the flower's heart.
Thirdly, after removing the orchid seedlings from the carbendazim solution, as the plant is wet, planting it directly may pose a risk of root rot. Therefore, before potting, it should be placed in a shaded and well-ventilated area to dry the surface water. Pay attention and if the roots are slightly whitish and soft, it indicates success.
Finally, potting is of utmost importance. Orchids are suitable for planting in loose and breathable soil with good drainage, such as humus soil and pine needle soil. To ensure that the plants grow robustly with fewer diseases, you can place a small amount of items like陶粒 (ceramic stones) or pebbles at the bottom of the pot to aid in drainage.
I believe that indeed, the quality of orchids is also a key factor affecting the rate and effectiveness of plant adaptation to the pot. But as long as the plant's roots are not largely necrotic, they still have a chance of recovery. By continuing to take the above four steps, the plants will also adapt to the pot quickly and grow robustly during the peak growing period.
