How to Plant Orchids Inside the Home
The orchid is a plant native to Asia and, although it needs some special care, can be grown and look inside the home with good light. Some tips to consider:
■ Temperature: not stand night temperatures below 16 °. The day can range between 23 and 35 °. Mature plants need a difference between day and night temperatures of 6-8 °. Temperatures below 10 degrees can cause the loss and fall blooms.
■ Irrigation: Basically, these plants grow better if allowed to dry slightly between watering through the cultivation and irrigation. It should be watered in the morning, room temperature and especially in the summer.
■ Light: It is important that the plant receives plenty of light, preferably morning sun. It must also be placed near a window. The leaves have to have a light green color. If you have a darker color, it means that they lack light and possibly little or no flowering plants flourish.
■ Humidity: it is ideal to keep the plants with a minimum of 50% moisture, up to 80/85%. It is important to manage moisture with adequate ventilation, such as a good air flow.
■ Fertilization in spring and summer, apply a water-soluble fertilizer rich in nitrogen and in autumn and winter adding fertilizer rich in phosphorus. It is ideal to apply these products every ten days.
