How to Properly Care for Orchids

Properly Care for Orchids

Is it true that watering orchids once a month?
Orchid may fail due to several factors. When leaves yellow, it may be a sign of natural aging. Usually leaves remain on the plant at least a year, mostly as well as 2-5 years before the fall. If blush is therefore only one older leave, it is unlikely for a normal phenomenon. Leaves sometimes became yellow (but not eliminating) as the result of a lack of nutrients, especially nitrogen. In this case to plants add special fertilizer for orchids, or transplanted to a new medium for orchids, but always only in the period of grace.
Mostly is for the declines of the plants cause irregular supply of water - this may be too much or too little. If it’s too little water, plant leaves dropped to reduce transpiration area. Due to frequent watering or the retention of water may begin roots dying; leaves lose turgidity and start falling.
Orchids are very many species; in our country is the most of Phalenopsis, so I assume that there is a problem with this type. Phalenopsis or broad orchid should not stand in water, whereas the roots start dying. Watering only with the soft and at room temperature heated water and the care not to wet the middle - the heart of the leaves. During the intensive growth of leaves and flower water 1-2 times a week, in winter is enough once or twice a month. All types of orchids need very humid air.
