Preparation before basin filling

The time of basin loading is generally from March to April in spring or from October to November in autumn

The flowerpot should choose a mud basin with small mouth, deep basin and large bottom hole, which is conducive to the ventilation of the soil and easy to root

The roots of glossy bud must be washed before loading the basin. Immerse the roots in clean water and gently brush them with a toothbrush or brush. Do not use too much force, which will hurt the roots

Then use scissors to cut off the residual leaves, yellow leaves, old roots and rotten roots, and retain the new buds

Put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and then implant it into the basin when the root turns white and produces small wrinkles

Basin filling method

There are two ways to pot a glossy bud

First, put the root of glossy bud up and the leaf down under the faucet, wash it with slow water, grasp the top with your thumb and index finger, put your little finger against the edge of the basin, and fix the root with branches. When you put it into the basin, the root should not touch the basin wall

Pour the mixed gravel into about one-third of the bottom of the pot, then pour the medium-sized mixed soil to four fifths of the pot, then take out the branches, compact the soil and leave no space

Then pour the large gravel into the flower pot, keep the gap of 1.5cm along the pot, finally pour the bean seed large plant material, bury all the false bulbs in the soil, gently press the plant material with the soil pressing tool, and level the surface. After planting, the planting material is slightly higher in the center of the basin

The second is to fill the bottom of the pot with broken tiles, and then lay stones, accounting for two fifths of the flower pot. The coarse stone culture soil is 3-5cm thick, and then put it into the bract glossy orchid

Stretch the root without curling. Hold the plant in your left hand, add soil in your right hand, and lift the plant slightly while adding, so that the root can be stretched

After that, shake the basin while adding soil, so that the soil is in close contact with the root, and then press the soil around the stem by hand to make the middle of the basin high and the surrounding low, and cover it with a layer of moss or fine stones, so that the basin soil is not easy to harden and reduce water evaporation

Management after basin filling

After the glossy bud is installed in the basin, water it immediately. Water it enough for the first time, and then control the amount of water. It should not be too wet

Place the mud basin in a cool place. Don't touch direct sunlight for a month. You can receive scattered light in the morning

Pay attention to keep the environment ventilated and breathable
