Confucius he associated his smell with that of friendship<\/strong> and his particular appearance with that of the accomplished man. In a more abstract way, it also represents a color, the grace and fragility of a thing or a person and finally, rarity and refinement. Without forgetting that it is one of the plants that bring positive energy to the house . For these different reasons, many people consider it an ideal plant to decorate their interior and rightly so, since it is an undisputed point of attraction in a room. Only, you have to know how to take care of it in the correct way to grow it at home.
In tropical forests or in the wild, orchids are found in wet meadows, dry limestone areas, in forests or on the edges of certain roads. That is to say, there is also an epiphytic type orchid, with aerial roots that do not need to be planted on terrestrial supports. The latter feed on humidity in the ambient air and can grow on the branches of another plant, on rocks or even on trunks. However, the orchid can also be grown indoors in a pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While there are several varieties available, the most common is Phalaenopsis<\/strong> , a hybrid plant that flowers practically all year round. With thick, flat leaves, its flowers resemble the shape of a butterfly and are held on long, upright stems. Depending on the species, these can take various shapes and colors, providing an infinite number of options for those who decide to adopt them. Pink, mauve, purple or with white flowers, you will have several options to select the one that best suits you. Here you have the good advice to follow to take care of your orchid. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n1) Use the appropriate doses of water and fertilizer <\/h2>\n\n\n\n First of all, you need to feed your orchids if you want them to bloom again. This involves choosing a good potting soil and a liquid fertilizer to use every two weeks, the latter should be rich in nutrients such as potassium and phosphorus.<\/strong> for optimal fertilization. To do this, you can ask a florist for advice. When the flowering period arrives, fertilizer is no longer necessary. The frequency of watering should also be reduced to give it a rest period. If the stem becomes brown and soft at the bottom, it may mean that it is rotting from too much standing water. You can then cut it as low as possible, resuming its classic maintenance to stimulate the growth of a new flower stem.2) Water your orchids properly <\/h2>\n\n\n\n Gardening lovers probably know: when watering, it is advisable to soak the roots of the plant instead of proceeding from above. To do this, there is a simple and effective immersion technique. Place your pot in a container of room temperature water for 20 minutes,<\/strong> making sure it has small holes towards the bottom for a drainage effect. Once this time has passed, we drain the container and put it back in its place, making sure there is enough light. The operation must be repeated every 10 days. Please note that rainwater can be useful for this procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n3) Expose them to light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n During winter or when the sun’s rays are not very strong, it is possible to expose your plant directly to outdoor light or even on a veranda. Most orchids feed by photosynthesis<\/strong> and therefore need chlorophyll, like other plants such as the hydrangea, which comes in the form of small flowering shrubs, tulips or even hyacinths, however, the rays can be too hot and burn the leaves. Then favor a morning exposure by placing it in a bright place with a little shade. In particular, excessive ventilation and drafts should be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n4) Avoid heat sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Radiators, fireplaces, too aggressive sun, dry heat sources should be avoided for this exotic plant that prefers humidity. If the ambient temperature in the house is above 20 degrees, it is also recommended to place tropical orchids in cooler places such as shelves near windows or stairwells. This houseplant does not tolerate drought well.5) Use thermal shock <\/h2>\n\n\n\n Contrary to popular belief, heat stroke can be a real advantage in getting your orchids to bloom again and produce new flower buds. To do this, place your flowers on a balcony or on your windowsill during the day, when the outside temperature does not exceed 15 degrees<\/strong> , then Put them back in their usual place at night. The change in temperature will stimulate growth, especially in autumn when the temperature is favorable. This operation will be repeated for about 15 days, alternating day and night to obtain the desired effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n6) Prune your orchid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n When the plant’s flowers disappear or have withered, it is advisable to cut the stems to encourage new flowering and the birth of healthy buds. Using clean and disinfected pruning shears or scissors, shorten the latter by cutting 1 centimeter above the second or third node<\/strong> of the flower stem, counting from the bottom . <\/p>\n\n\n\n7) Take care of the leaves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n If its petals seem to require the most care due to their fragile appearance, don’t forget about the leaves. And this advice applies to all flowers, regardless of their type. These should be cleaned with a cloth soaked in distilled water and a few drops of lemon juice. Another grandmother’s trick is to use a cotton ball soaked in a mixture of water and milk to do this task. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n8) Opt for an appropriate vase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n For proper growth, opt for a transparent vase or pot, which will allow the plant to benefit from the light. Double-walled ones are especially effective because they stabilize the temperature. In this sense, the cache-pot should be avoided. There are also many plants that you can grow with just a glass of water . <\/p>\n\n\n\n9) Consider humidity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n As mentioned above, most orchids are tropical and exotic plants that require ambient humidity to grow in good conditions. It will therefore be necessary to ensure that the leaves are regularly sprayed with demineralized water. <\/strong>You can also solve this problem by placing them near a humidifier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n10) Take care of the color of the leaves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n This is an important indicator that will allow you to know if your maintenance care is appropriate for your plant, especially in terms of its direct contact with the sun. In fact, if you see that your leaves are turning yellow or are filled with <\/strong>with spots <\/strong>, this could mean that the streaks They are too aggressive. <\/strong>On the contrary, if the leaves are too green or dark green, this indicates that the orchid does not receive enough sunlight. Generally speaking, it is estimated that the orchid should be transplanted every two years immediately after flowering. Wilted flowers can then be removed by cutting the dried flower stem flush. The plant must also be freed from its substrate because as the seasons go by, the latter decomposes and can suffocate its roots. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Under its delicate appearance, the orchid represents a fairly resistant variety of tropical plants that can be grown at home.
