Ladies and gentlemen, can you still raise orchids with volcanic stones used in the fish tank?

Yes, volcanic stone.

It is a commonly used orchid planting material for raising orchids, if used alone, the disadvantages are also obvious, mainly because the fertility is not enough, and the nutrients should be regularly watered in the later stage, plants and grass insects are recommended, and the volcanic stone orchid is suitable for lazy people, but it is not recommended to use it alone, it can be mixed, directly mixed with pine bark, according to the ratio of 4 points volcanic stone: 2 points of pine bark, the effect is very good.

Extended information: Orchid is one of the oldest flowers in China, known as the "national orchid", and has now become a world-famous flower, and orchid friends who love orchids are all over the five continents.

Take our country as an example, it is conservatively estimated that Lanyou should be in the tens of millions.

What soil substrate is suitable for orchid growth? It's easy to say, it's loose, breathable, and well-drained soil. However, since ancient times and today, the Orchid people have gone through countless experiments in the process of selecting soil substrates, and horticultural techniques in the last century.

Rapid development, in the developer of orchid planting materials, our neighboring Japan is at the forefront, planting gold stone, red jade soil.

After the introduction of granular soil such as deer swamp soil into China, it not only makes orchids easier to maintain, but also clean and hygienic, so it is very popular

1. Classic formula: 60% phytolite + 30% fairy soil + snake wood.

This formula is a classic formula that has been verified by thousands of orchid friends, and it is very practical and suitable for most fine orchids. As for the proportion, don't be too stubborn, some use 65% of the phytogem stone and 35% of the fairy soil is also good, in fact, it is not so accurate, just an approximation. This recipe is relatively expensive for a single pot, so many orchids use it to cultivate precious orchids.

2. Universal formula: 40% phytolite + 30% volcanic stone + 30% bark

The cost of this formula is lower than the previous one, and it is also one of the common formulas, in addition, the phytophyllite and volcanic stone bark can also be replaced with similar planting materials, such as fairy soil, pond foundation stone, perlite.

Diatomaceous earth, peat, coconut peat, etc., the purpose of which is to reduce costs, the principle is to maintain loose and breathable, mainly hard materials.

OK. Knock on the key point: for the planting material of orchids, flower friends who are familiar with orchids understand that orchids like fertile and loose and slightly acidic potting soil planting materials with good air permeability and water permeability, which can be divided into several aspects, one is good air permeability, and the other is fertile, but slightly acidic pot soil environment, as long as it is for the formation of orchid root bacteria.

For orchid novices, it is impossible to achieve several aspects at the same time, the first thing we need to consider is the air permeability, for the later stage of nutrition can be regularly watered and supplemented, acidity can also be adjusted, as long as the pot soil is good air permeability, will not rot the roots, and the growth will not be bad, so for novices, it is recommended to use coarse grain planting materials with good air and water permeability, such as volcanic stone, weathered stone, red bricks, river sand, etc.

The picture above is a bonsai of Chunlan maintained by netizens, you can see that this pot of Chunlan has come to the flower buds, which is considered to be a regular flower bud breaking the ground, for Chunlan, the flower buds begin to differentiate after July every year, and the flower buds will break the ground in September to see the flower buds, and they will bloom after low temperature vernalization, and the planting material used is volcanic stone.

The purpose of netizens sharing is mainly to suggest that everyone use volcanic stone to raise spring orchid, it is really very suitable for lazy people to raise orchid, novices use volcanic stone is also good, volcanic stone is produced by volcanic eruptions, particles have many pores, the specific volume is relatively large, with good water retention adsorption, of course, air permeability and water permeability are not bad.

Volcanic stone is a commonly used orchid planting material, if used alone, the disadvantages are also obvious, mainly because the fertility is not enough, the later stage should be regularly watered for nutrition, plants and grass insects are recommended, volcanic stone orchid is suitable for lazy people, but it is not recommended to use alone, can be mixed, directly mixed with pine bark, according to the ratio of 4 points volcanic stone: 2 points of pine bark, the effect is very good.

The volcanic stone used in the fish tank cannot raise flowers, because this stone is thicker and has poor drainage and air permeability, so we can use it to pave the flowers.

Volcanic stones can be kept in fish tanks for a long time, and the formation of this stone is related to volcanoes, which have many pores and are relatively light. There are many advantages to raising fish with this stone, such as the ability to adjust the pH of the water body and keep the water quality neutral. At the same time, it also has an adsorption function, which can absorb some impurities and keep the water quality clear.

In addition, the stone contains minerals that can improve the immunity of the fish.

Volcanic stones can be kept in a fish tank for a long time. Volcanic stone is convex when the lava cools down during the volcanic eruption, there are a large number of dense pores inside, and the mass is relatively light, and it can float on the water surface, so it is also called pumice. The benefits of this stone are many, it can keep warm and insulated, while also being resistant to acids, alkalis and corrosion, and it is not polluting and radioactive in itself.

1. Adjust pH: The biggest benefit of volcanic stone for fish tanks is to adjust the pH of the water body. If the water is acidic or alkaline, it can be adjusted to be close to neutral, and neutral water is very good for fish farming, because both weakly acidic and weakly alkaline fish can accept neutral water.

2. Adsorption function: volcanic stone can adsorb impurities in the water, which can make the water body clearer. It should be noted that it can also release minerals, so whether it is adsorption or release, mainly depends on the situation of the water body, when there are few minerals, it will be released, and when there are more, it will be adsorbed.

3. Improve immunity: volcanic stone itself contains certain minerals and trace elements, which are still very helpful to the growth of fish, can promote its metabolism, discharge harmful substances, and enhance the immunity of fish.
