Orchids are beautiful tropical flowers that love moisture and shade. In the article, we will tell you what is important to consider in care.
How to care for orchids
Put it in a bright place without direct sunlight, away from drafts and batteries.
Important - do not put it together with other flowers. Plants from the store can be infected with parasites, so put it in a "quarantine" for 2 weeks, away from the rest of the greenery.
For flowers, it is important to be in a fresh substrate so that enough air enters the roots and the pot can dry out evenly.
Orchids generally like bright sunlight, but keep them out of direct sunlight. Water the orchid only when the substrate in the pot is completely dry.
In the warm season and during the flowering period, orchids should be watered twice a week. In winter - no more than once every two weeks.
What Orchids Don't Like
Orchids do not like drafts. You should also not place a flower pot in the immediate vicinity of heating systems - this can cause the roots to dry out.
If, nevertheless, the orchid had to be placed close to the battery, it is necessary to regularly moisten its roots.
An exotic flower is afraid of the cold. Orchid will grow best at a constant air temperature.
In conditions where heaters heat the room well and there is no air circulation, the orchid can get sick. Therefore, fresh air must always be supplied to the room.
