Know More About Orchid Plants

Orchid has 30 000 different species and the basis of its culture remains the same. In early enthusiasm of Europeans for the plant, thousands of orchids have died as a result of trial and error as to what kind of culture adopted by place of origin of the beautiful. After having suppressed in greenhouses and then drowned in gallons of water and made to rot in too wetting the leaves, the orchid has finally been understood and their different types of culture have been unearthed and refined through relentless passion.

However, we can say that all orchids need similar care. There are many pitfalls that do not differ depending on the species of orchid. For example, in general one should avoid placing your plant too long to thank you from the direct rays of the sun, especially not in front of a window. Of course, some require more light than others, and sometimes, some do not want to be in the sun than 4 hours per day, but in any case the point is not there, the window will amplify what is most damaging attack in the sunlight. Remember that orchids are generally suspended above the trees to capture the light, but on the other side to be safe behind the leaves of this tree. Always read the documents correctly according to the species and its needs and know what kind of light you can offer the orchid that you take. At best, dinghy your windows with a thin white curtain.

Another important point: water. Whatever happens and whatever you say, nothing beats the rain. But beware, once again, the rain water that you can provide is the same as its original environment, depending whether you live in town or country. In fact, do not collect water during the first 15 minutes of a downpour, it has passed several layers of pollution to spawn a clearer path for the next dose. Subsequently, if you justify the presence of any nutrient for the purposes of this case that you have specifically add it without problem, but if we dilute it, take more water from rain.

And finally, aeration. That the culture of your orchid is cold or hot, where the first Europeans were wrong, and where you can not go wrong, it is in the amount of oxygen to give your beauty. Always ventilate the room where your plant, it needs oxygen, humidity is always high around an orchid, and again regardless of crop type, then do the breathing up. It is strongly recommended that it not be cramped in its pot and it is not enclosed in a greenhouse without air. This is not to create air currents because in 50% of situations it would be fatal, but to renew the air in the room and thus provide maximum oxygen “nine” to your plant.

So no matter which kind you wear on your choice, pay attention to these three points, adapt the course according to the degree of light and water it needs, but remember in each phase maintenance.
