    This process is necessary because most of the empty roots have lost the necessity of their existence. Keeping them in pots will only deteriorate the potting soil environment due to decay, and repairing them in time can give the new roots a better environment.

    There is no need to leave any root system with only one central line left. If you pinch it with your hands, there is still the root of the flesh, try to leave it as much as possible, because there are some orchid bacteria in the original root, which can promote the germination of new roots.

    In most cases, empty roots are caused by lack of water, so don't rush to water and soak them, as this will make Langan die faster. After trimming, it is best to put it on wet moss for two days. The moss should not be soaked in water, just spray some water properly, then spread it on the ground, place the orchids on top (do not cover things), and let it rest in a cool and ventilated place for two nights (about 40 hours).

    Remember not to soak this orchid with fungicide, the original root system is not sound, and there are not many orchids, if you soak it with fungicide at this time, then it will be more difficult to take the pot, not to mention the new roots.

    There are two methods to promote rooting, neither of which is to use rooting powder (I have never recommended rooting powder for orchids). The first is to root the planting material as fine as possible, some friends may be accustomed to using granular planting material, raising a robust orchid granular material is really good, but covering the new roots is really not as good as fine planting material.

    What is the best planting material, in terms of mulching the roots, I think is rotten trees. Rotten pines, willows, oaks, etc., which can be found everywhere in the mountains, are very good planting materials. Cover the roots with decaying trees, even without humus.

    Then it's watering, what kind of water is used? One is to soak with humus, which I have always thought is the best fertilizer water, including to promote the germination of new roots. Of course, some Lan friends may not have this condition, so use the second method.

    Superphosphate is a chemical fertilizer that can promote plant rooting at low concentrations.

    Orchid roots can be soaked with 1000 times superphosphate as a long-term water for orchids. This kind of fertilizer can be bought in general agricultural stores, but if you really don't have it, there is a trick. Using 2000 times of potassium dihydrogen phosphate as a common water for orchid roots, it can also promote the germination of new roots.

    4. Open windows for ventilation.

    Orchids are suitable for growing in a cool environment, and if the orchid is placed in a hot environment for a long time, it will cause the orchid to have empty roots.

    2. Replace the planting material

    Remove the rotten skin of the empty roots, and then the orchid needs to be on the sunny side and in a place with strong ventilation, and the number of watering should be increased appropriately at ordinary times, and the water should be watered in time, so that the orchid can replenish water in time.

    If the empty roots are pruned off from time to time, it will affect the development and growth of new roots, if there are too many empty roots, the rot caused by it will also be transmitted to the new root system, affecting the absorption of water and nutrients by other roots, and if the root system is not repaired for a long time, it will lead to slow growth of orchids, and may also cause infection and rot due to decay, so it is necessary to clean up the old roots and empty roots every time you change the pot.

    The middle layer of the orchid root is responsible for storing water and nutrients for the growth of orchids, the water loss of orchid leaves, and the lack of water in the orchid planting material in the pot, the water of the orchid roots can not be replenished in time, and it will consume the water and nutrients stored by itself for the growth of orchid plants.

    Empty roots are mainly caused by lack of water or lack of nutrients, lack of nutrients is that the roots and planting materials are not well fitted, and the roots can not obtain nutrients, and they will naturally be empty after a long time.

    Summary. Hello, dear. We'll be happy to answer for you. Dear, what is the reason why the roots of the newly planted orchid are empty; Improper planting methods.

    Hello, dear. We'll be happy to answer for you. Dear, what is the reason why the roots of the newly planted orchid are empty; Improper planting methods.

    Dear, the newly planted orchid roots are empty because of improper planting methods.

    When raising orchids, they choose to use a pine bark planting material for planting, because it is not only nutritious, but also highly permeable.

    The root system of the orchid is also relatively thick, and when it is planted in the bark of a pine tree, the root system may be suspended to a certain extent. If it is constantly in this suspended state, it is very detrimental to the growth of the plant, because its root system cannot contact the soil, and it cannot draw nutrients and water from the soil, so that the root system of the orchid will gradually wither, so that it will appear in a hollow state.

    I bought orchid planting material and planted it.

    Pro, is the permeability of potting soil good?

    It is planted with pine bark.

    Dear, if its potting soil is not breathable, and the surrounding air is relatively stuffy, its root system is prone to rot, resulting in empty roots.
