Growing orchids on the balcony requires "protection against cold in winter and heatstroke in summer."
In other words, controls and regulates the temperature on the balcony, which is a must for raising orchids.
Before talking about how to control the balcony temperature, there are two important knowledge points. Taiwanese friends need to remember:
First, temperature has a significant impact on the flowering period. Lowering the temperature can extend the flowering period.
Secondly, if the room temperature on the balcony drops below 5℃, don't force the orchid. What you need is to consider adding heating equipment.
Next, we will share effective experience: how to skillfully control the temperature on the balcony.
Balcony warming
3 measures for balcony heating
measures 1
There should be less or no shading in winter, so as to maximize the light and increase the temperature for growing orchids on the balcony.
Measures 2
In the north, after entering the mid-winter season, at noon on a windless and sunny day, you can leave the windows half open for ventilation.
It should be noted that during this season, when the sun is slightly slanted in the afternoon, the doors and windows should be closed immediately; before nightfall, cotton curtains should be hung.
Measures 3
Use electric heater , air heater to increase the temperature, or use solar lamps and other facilities to assist in heating.
The secret weapon for balcony heating
Plastic film
During severe cold periods, Taiwanese friends, you can use transparent plastic film to wrap the orchid pot.
Orchids like to be cool and are most afraid of stuffy heat. When using plastic film and encountering the heat at noon, the transparent plastic film must be opened for ventilation.
Glass thermostat
Depending on the number of orchids you grow, make a wooden or aluminum alloy shelf of suitable size. It does not have to be glass, you can also use transparent plastic film.
There are 43 steps to make a simple thermostat: step 1, make the frame; step 2, cover it with a layer of transparent plastic film; step 3, cover it with a layer of thick cloth to keep warm.
When using a thermostat, it needs to be managed day and night.
◆ During the day
When the temperature is high, roll up the transparent plastic film on the front and cover the aluminum alloy frame with the transparent plastic film.
◆ Put down the transparent plastic film in front of the incubator at night
. When the temperature is too low, you can cover the incubator with a layer of thick cloth to keep warm.
Air heater
If you want to increase the temperature of the balcony, you can also add an air heater.
It should be noted that when using an air heater, a basin of water should be placed in front of the air heater, and the air heater should be blown toward the water surface, which can both increase temperature and moisturize.
If you feel that these secret weapons are troublesome or not suitable for you, you can choose to set up a pool or sink under the orchid on the balcony.
Injecting hot water into the pool or sink can also increase the temperature of the balcony within a certain period of time.
