When is a good time to change orchids? What should I pay attention to?

For the time when orchids change pots, a more accurate expression should be how to grasp the time when orchids change pots, which is a concern of orchid friends. Proper pot changing will have a positive impact on orchids, which is beneficial to the growth of orchid seedlings. The following is the timing of orchid pot change based on my own practical experience in orchid cultivation:

1. According to the growth cycle of orchids, orchids should be replaced in the season of vigorous growth, because any action of orchid seedlings will inevitably lead to the damage of orchid roots, just as it takes a while for people to adapt to a new environment. The reason why orchids grow vigorously is to achieve the purpose of self-repair through the vigorous metabolic ability of orchids as much as possible. I think the best time is in spring and autumn.

2. From the growth of orchid seedlings: when there are many orchid seedlings in the orchid pot, you can consider changing the pot, because if you continue to grow in the original pot at this time, the orchid will take root slowly. Careful orchid friends will find that when the bare roots on the surface of the orchid basin begin to increase, the upward trend of new orchid seedlings will become slow. The problem to consider at this time is that your orchid pot may be a little small, and the orchid can't take root, so it stays on the pot surface and grows horizontally. At this time, it is necessary to change the pot decisively.

3. From the point of planting materials, the suitable period of turning pots and changing soil for general granular hard materials is one and a half years, and that for soft humus soil is about two and a half years. Turning over pots and changing soil in time can ensure the sufficient supply of nutrients for planting materials, promote the growth of orchid seedlings and facilitate the opening of orchids.

The above three points are the best time for orchids to change pots. After mastering it skillfully, your orchid cultivation level has improved a lot.
