The orchid will begin to dry out even in an ideal substrate if it is not changed.
Even experienced gardeners sometimes forget about this important procedure.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, tells us how often the substrate needs to be replaced.
How often should you change the substrate for an orchid?
The substrate is replaced every two to three years and only during the period when there are no flowers on the plant.
The substrate should not be too dense; the orchid roots need fresh air.
It is also extremely important not to overuse fertilizers. Use special fertilizers for orchids and strictly follow the instructions.
