The design of orchid shed

Orchid habits like cool, ventilated places, if there is no proper shade, let it continue to be exposed to the sun, leaves yellow, rough, especially in the hot season, it is easier to scorch leaf tips, or even wither and die. For this reason, shade shed equipment must be set up. The setting up of a shade shed can be determined according to the size of the site and the surrounding environment. If it is a private garden, it is surrounded by walls, and the height of the shade shed is about three meters. In short, it is mainly ventilated and transparent. The materials used in the shade shed structure include coarse bamboo or rotten-resistant wood, angle iron and cement columns. After being built, shade curtains are placed on the roof, which can be compiled according to the size and length of the scaffolding, mostly made of brown thread, with single fan or multi-fan connection. The Reed curtain made of grass rope can not stand the sun and rain and is not very durable. If the canopy area is short, you can also use bamboo curtains, but the cost is higher, quite uneconomical.

Curtains can be divided into sparse and dense, according to the light intensity required by orchids in different seasons, thin curtains can be used in spring and autumn, and dense curtains can be used in hot summer. When in use, it can be divided into flexible type and rope roll type. the former kind only uses hands or bamboo cups to pick and spread the curtain flat, and the two ends are temporarily tied and fixed with ropes. Before sunset, it is folded into a circular axis, left at one end of the roof or moved back to the room to avoid night exposure and rain, so as to prolong the service life of the curtain, and the operation is more troublesome. In the latter, a thin bamboo rod is attached to each end of the curtain, one end is fixed on the coconut top beam with a string, two walking pulleys are attached to the other end beam at an open distance, and then two thick brown ropes are used to pull in the curtain through the fixed pulley to surround the curtain rod connected to the other end in the past. In this way, the curtain can be unfolded and rolled up, which is easy to use, flexible and convenient.

Shade Reed curtain, in addition to daily protection, in early spring and late autumn night, can also prevent dew damage. In addition, before the orchid stamens budding, there must be moderate sunlight, otherwise the flower color is dim, so it can also be used for flowering maintenance.
