Growing orchids, creating an environment is the foundation

Everyone who raises orchids wants to raise orchids well, so how can they raise them? I think it is important to give orchids a good growth and development environment. This environment refers to the environment outside the orchid pot and inside the orchid pot.

Today, I will talk about the environment outside the orchid pot. The environmental factors outside the basin for orchid growth and development include ventilation, temperature, humidity and light. The suitable temperature for the growth and development of orchids is 18-28 degrees Celsius, and the humidity is 50%-80%. There must be sufficient strong scattered light and good ventilation conditions.

The above-mentioned suitable conditions for the growth and development of orchids, it is difficult for home orchid growers to meet the needs of orchids, so what I emphasize here is to use existing conditions as much as possible to create them.

Among them, ventilation conditions are the top priority. The purpose of ventilation is to increase the oxygen required for the growth and development of orchids. If the ventilation is good, the breathing ability of the orchid root system will be enhanced. At the same time, temperature and humidity are closely related to ventilation conditions. In the summer high temperature and humidity environment, if there is no good ventilation, the life activity of pathogenic bacteria and eggs will be greatly enhanced. Many people think that opening windows is ventilation, and air flowing within a certain range is ventilation. In fact, this understanding of ventilation has entered a misunderstanding. The core of the question is whether the air is fresh, and whether the oxygen required for the growth and development of orchids has increased. This is the correct understanding of ventilation. Therefore, it is very important to grow orchids at home, and to ventilate the balcony or indoors. At the same time, spraying on the balcony and opening the window on rainy days can increase the air humidity; closing the window and adjusting the ventilation time of the ventilation fan can adjust the temperature; adjusting the position of the orchid pot frame and moving the orchid pot can increase the light of the orchid and enhance Leaf photosynthesis and so on. The temperature, humidity, light and ventilation conditions required for the growth and development of orchids are a synergistic process. As long as the orchids are in your heart, pay more attention and do your hands, you can create an external environment for the growth and development of orchids as much as possible.
