Storage Environment Lightning

 To grow, orchids need the right kind of light, and to grow and flourish, they need the indirect, bright light of the sun. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight. A north or east-facing window may also be helpful.

Ambient Temperature and Humidity

 Orchids keep their appearance in hot and humid conditions because this type of flower comes from tropical regions. A daytime temperature of 70-85°F (21-29°C) is sufficient, and you can make the nighttime temperature to 10-15°F (5-8°C). You can also use humidifiers, placing them right next to the orchids.

These nuances should be taken into account especially in winter when the indoor air tends to dry out the most.

Watering of The Orchids

 In most cases, overwatering orchids will kill them, as these flowers like a short period of gentle drying. Thus, when watering orchids, it is necessary to determine the necessary amount of water. And you can water every one to two weeks. The frequency of watering needed can vary depending on the type of orchid, the potting material, and the environment in which it is placed.

The Vase for Orchids

 The size of the selected vase may depend on the growth rate of the orchid, the size of the mound, and the root mass. It is necessary to choose a basket with a top diameter of about one-third of the height of the orchid plant. And the flowerbed should be changed every two to three years, or in case of deterioration in the quality of the soil.

Orchid Blooming

Orchids require a balanced orchid fertilizer to thrive. Feed your orchids with a diluted fertilizer every two to four weeks during the growing season (usually spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing during the dormant season. Always follow the instructions on the fertilizer package.

Pruning Orchids

 In order to ensure the growth of new flowers, it is necessary to cut the damaged fruits of the flowers slightly above the node or the base of the stem. To maintain their overall health and appearance, remove yellowed or dead leaves.

The Air of The Environment

 Proper air circulation is essential to prevent bacterial and fungal infections. And to maintain air circulation around the orchids, you can use ventilators. However, it is necessary to keep them away from the flowers, because strong airflow can damage them

Insects and Diseases 

 One of the most frequently encountered pests in orchids is thrips. When noticing pests on orchids, you need the appropriate insecticides, but you also need to be careful not to damage the flower. In addition, it is necessary to periodically check the orchids for disease symptoms, such as black spots or yellowing of the leaves. You can restore plant health faster by detecting the symptoms prior.

How to take care of orchids

Each type of flower requires its own individual care and attention. To ensure excellent orchid cultivation, it is necessary to understand their types and approaches, which differ according to the type of orchid. And over time, you will also succeed in developing and enriching your orchid care experience.

In Conclusion

 The orchid family has over 880 different genera (called genera) and over 22,000 species. These numbers grow every year, making orchids the largest and most diverse of the flowering plant families. Most of these are tropical plants that live as epiphytes or "air plants". And some are lithophytes or "rock plants" that grow on or in rocks. The rest of the orchids are terrestrial plants that grow in the clay debris on the bottom of the islands.

To obtain the desired characteristics, such as color, fragrance, flower size, and ease of care, these hybrids are created by crossing different species and sometimes different sexes.

To ensure successful care of orchids, it is necessary to study their requirements, which include details of support, light, food, humidity, water, air movement, and temperature. Flower delivery is also available for orchids, thanks to which you will get your desired flowers with quality and careful delivery.
