How to care for orchids
How to care for orchids that grow well and healthy:
• Location, temperature and humidity: Orchid will grow well in the plateau (in low also can live, but must meet the appropriate conditions), temperature range 15 - 35 Celsius (optimum temperature of 21 Celsius) with good air circulation. The humidity range 65 - 70%.
• Light sun: orchid plants can not be exposed to direct sunlight, but can still be exposed to the sun the morning (between 7 - 9 am). Orchid less sunlight can grow thin, narrow leaved and long term, if the excess sun leaves will turn yellow as a burn. Then orchids grow well if you swing under the tree exuberance.
• Sprinkling: practical way to know whether the plant is necessary sprinkling to monitor the condition plant media. Should sprinkling with water sprayer and use free kaporit and other chemical compound. Young orchids need a lot more water, sprinkling it is 1 day 1 times. Orchids for a larger, 2 hours once sufficient. Too much water will make it easy to attack fungi that cause leaf and root rot. The orchid should not get wet because it will quickly fall off.
• Fertilization: Orchid need to do so diligently fostered flowering. Tips for choosing the right fertilizer is selected liquid fertilizer (fertilizer leaves), macro elements NPK should be adjusted with the age of the plant (young orchids require more N elements, while the orchid is ready for P-bearing elements require more). Fertilization is done once a week with a dose of 1 / 2 tsp to 1 liter of water. Spray fertilizer solution with the sprayer on the leaves and roots. Fertilization can be done more often by reducing the dose.
• Planting Media: Media is a good plant that is not obsolete faster, easier root paste, hollow (porous) for air circulation, can save the burly substance, and not easy to become a source of disease. Media is a fern, moss, coconut fiber, charcoal, wood, brickbat or tile.
• Pot: To be selected a pot or plastic pot soil. Pot soil can store water, while the pot is not plastic. Orchid also good planted in blocks of fern and swing under a tree. Regular repotting should be done, for example, 6 months to provide more space on the root of the orchid.
