Orchid thrives to create a balcony environment.

Orchid thrives to create a balcony environment.

Dry air, lack of humidity and lack of earth atmosphere are the bottlenecks that restrict the cultivation of orchids on the balcony. Therefore, if you want to raise a good balcony orchid, you must strive to create a small environment suitable for orchid growth, you can make efforts from the following three aspects.

Although the wild orchid is unmanaged, it grows well naturally. To investigate the reason, a very important aspect is that the earth is moist, the air humidity is appropriate, the water vapor continues to return, and the soil remains moist and unstained all the year round, so it is self-contained every year. This and balcony spring and autumn dry, summer muggy, winter dry cold environment is quite different. This requires us to aim at the ecological habits of orchids and strive to create a small environment suitable for their growth. My practice is to use hollow stainless steel to make three-layer orchid rack, each floor is equipped with a glass sink at the bottom, the orchid basin is placed on it, ventilated on all sides, which not only increases the air humidity, but also keeps the water vapor flowing.

Humidifier humidifier to promote air dryness is the enemy of balcony orchid cultivation. In sunny weather, the air humidity of the balcony is less than 30%, which is not conducive to the growth of orchids. It is not enough to rely on water channel humidification alone, and it must be solved through comprehensive humidification measures. The most effective way is to use a humidifier to increase air humidity. After practice, I think the ultrasonic humidifier for raising orchids on the balcony is more ideal. The ultrasonic humidifier is fine and uniform in spray, light and convenient, economical in power saving, quiet and silent in operation, and is very suitable for raising orchids on the balcony. If used properly, the air humidity can reach about 60%, which can basically meet the humidity requirements of orchids.

The brick cushion basin has small pores and has good functions of water absorption, moisturizing and air permeability. the larger brick particles can be used as the filling material for the basin bottom, and the volume can account for 1/3 of the orchid basin capacity, which can effectively improve the ventilation and permeability of the basin bottom. at the same time, the strong characteristics of water absorption and moisture retention of brick particles can be used to keep the basin soil moist and not dry. At the same time, the bricks at the bottom of the orchid basin can be soaked in the basin at the right time according to the season, so that the moisture is released slowly, so that the basin soil is moist and sufficient, which can greatly reduce the occurrence of rotten roots and empty roots caused by oppression and steaming of orchids. In short, the orchid thrives, the balcony orchid cultivation as long as in line with the principle of Tao law and nature, and strive to create a small environment suitable for orchid growth, is completely able to raise orchids.
