When and how to water orchids?


Orchids cannot live entirely on fresh air,and like other plants need moderate amounts of food in order to thrive.In the wild,much of this is provided in the form of gases given off by the decaying matter on the forest floor below-a method that has been adapted successfully by some growers of monopodial orchids in tropical and equatorial regions.

Is it for the cultivation of Orchids necessary having a nursery?
Absolutely not. A number of Orchid hybrids may be placed in the apartment, because they are less sensitive than species that grow in the wild-botanical species.

Why are leaves chained?

Why are leaves chained?


Why are leaves chained?
The problem occurs primarily in Miltonias and hybrids with Odontoglossums and Oncidiums. These families are vulnerable to the uneven substrate humidity and it reacted with the active and slows down the growth of leaves and stems. If you leave the substrate too long dry, after swamping growth quickly resumed. Leaves and arteries do not grow more evenly and be 'captured' in the older leaves, which they embrace. Young leaves, therefore, became chained and remains deformed.

Why does yours orchid not blooming?

Flowering is only one phase (phase generative) in the development of plants, which is in direct connection with the growth of green parts (vegetative stage). Some orchids flower, when the growth of green parts is closed, the others before it starts. In this rough division are still a lot of variations, which are essential if we are to prepare the orchid to re-bloom. Exact knowledge of the growing cycle of each genus orchid is therefore the key to success, if we want to see the flowers. Given the complexity and diversity of orchid family (Orchidaceae), it is impossible to create a transparent description of plant growth cycles and the formulas for flowering.
Phalaenopsis If the plant has a sufficiently strong and healthy leaves bloom when you move in a cooler area. The difference must be at least 5 ˚ C. Minimum temp. 16 ˚ C!
Cymbidium grows rapidly in spring, summer forms pseudo bulbs, autumn they ripen and in winter, however, thrives. In autumn the plants need to highlight the low-temp. (about 7 ˚ C) until the first flower. Otherwise, the plants only grow and not flower.
Dendrobium Nobile Type thrives on similar care as cymbidiums.
Miltonia and all the hybrids in this group of flowering is not precisely defined, is the shift between different genera and even between species within the genus vary.

When orchids bloom?

Blooming Orchids



This question is impossible to give a single answer. Many families have a specified period of blooming that encourages climate factors. If this situation we can not guarantee, we’ll never saw the flowers. These include the dendrobiums type Nobile, cymbidium, falusi, sinokes etc...

Blooming Orchids


In contrast with these orchids, there are also large group of orchids, which do not have a clearly specified period of bloom and bloom when they are sufficiently strong and therefore able to hold flowers. These include phalaenopsis, paphiopedilum, many masdevallia etc...

Orchids and Parasites

Orchids and Parasites

Phalaenopsis orchids should be transferred approximately once a year. Use the appropriate size of the crucible and the plant transferred to a special soil for orchids (substrate), which is to settle around the roots, while at the same time provide room for root aeration.
If a flower needs medical attention ...
Phalaenopsis orchids should be reviewed if the aphides, cochineal, mites and snails. Cochineal is one of the most common parasites in the Phalaenopsis orchid, and it can be removed with a soft cloth or cotton cloth, soaked in isopropyl alcohol. Cinnamon and isopropyl alcohol are ideal for natural resources in your locker with drugs for the orchids.

Transplantation of Orchids

Transplantation of Orchids

Orchids must be transplanting, when the soil is too broken, or it is impossible to access the air to the roots. In addition, the drying time of base station became longer, which represent a threat to root system. Usually orchids are transplanting in spring or summer. It is important to install the plants in the pot. Orchids produce large and thick quasi-tubers, which takes quite a lot of space on the surface of crucible. It is good to determine the direction in which they occur both upwards and install transplanted plant that could grow in the same crucible for about two years.

All about Orchids-Cymbidium (Cymbidium)

Cymbidium Orchid

Cymbidium flourishes nice in the middle and strong light. Enough is morning sun or afternoon overshadows sun. During the growing season, these orchids prefer day temperatures between 23 and 28 º C and night temperatures between 10 and 18 º C. Our summer temperatures are suitable for plants, where they protect against hot and dry conditions. From spring to autumn, until danger of frost, is an ideal location outside "under the cap", or the tree.
In the racial season must be Cymbidium moist but not wet. During the coldest period, however, prefer less watering. Do not allow the order to the plant stand in water or to water stayed around the bulbs. If during the winter stand over the radiators, they need to be sprayed.
If night temperature in summer moving between 10 and 18 ° C, placed them in the north, overshadowing window. If the temperature will be too high, they'll not prosper. Ideally, by the summer transfer them on a free. There remain until the autumn until the night temperature does not fall to 5 ° C.
Watering frequently. It is also strongly watering (every month), the Rinse-off from the substrate accumulated nutrients. Winter fertilization is not necessary. It is possible, that you will have to remove at transplantation flower stalks (cut flowers to hold in the water even weeks after the break). Before planting, soak the substrate well. New container should be large enough for the plant so that it is in the same container for 2 years. Pseudobulb's should be above the substrate, should not be buried.

Orchids Education -air and humidity

The air humidity between 60% to 70% is the ideal climate in which orchids feel good .At Summer, when we often open windows, or even put orchids on a free, less air humidity is not a big problem.In nice weather we have in the room somewhere 50% air humidity ,in the cloudy or even rainy weather we have 60% to 80% air humidity.If we have orchids outside, in that case air humidity is practically 100%.
Problems starts at winter.Central heating at home literally run dry air.Usually heating bodies are located under the window sills, where we have orchids.On such cases air humidity can be quickly falls below 40% or even lower.Such humidity is certainly too low if not critical for the survival of orchids, as well as most other house plant.
