2. Choose the
right kind of soil for your orchids. Some first-time orchid growers make
the mistake of assuming that orchids need to be potted in soil like other
blooming flowers, choosing potting soil as a conduit. That would be a grave
mistake. Most orchid roots need far more air than potting soil would give them,
and so benefit from a looser, more porous mix.

Many people use bark chips, spaghnum moss,
coconut husks, charcoal, perlite, and even styrofoam pellets as potting mix,
often in combination. Experiment with porous, breathable mixes that you have on
hand, or ask an expert for his or her special recipe.
