The layout of the orchid platform

The orchid platform is made of wood, iron or cement. In addition to the special fixed form, these platforms can also be moved back to indoor use using the original outdoor cultivation equipment. Orchid platform can be divided into ladder type and platform type. Another easiest way is to put the potted orchid on the ground or on the inverted bottom of the empty flower basin, or on the steps made of bricks and stone strips. But the orchid form, had better use the platform type, because in the daily management operation is more convenient; the step type receives the light well, only uses the area waste some, no matter what form, always takes the sunlight, up and down to facilitate the air circulation as the purpose. The platform orchid frame far from the ground is adopted, its height is about 1 meter, and the width of the platform is 1-1.5 meters, which is too wide, which is not convenient in daily operation and management, such as watering, fertilization, weeding, pest control and so on. There must be channels between the platforms. When setting up the platform, first use brick and stone to make 6 solid platform feet, or use cement pipes as pillars, then put on the thick wood or cement strips that can bear the load, and then put on the square wood strips or cement boards that rent about 7 to 8 centimeters or about 20 centimeters wide on them one by one. There should be a distance of 5-7 cm between each piece of wood or water source board, so that the hole at the bottom of the orchid basin can be aligned with the gap, which is conducive to ventilation, convection and drainage.

The above-mentioned self-shelves can not only be used for daily open-air placement of potted orchids, but also can be moved indoors during overwintering. In order to be durable, all wood strips and boards must be replaceable and smeared with tung oil to achieve anticorrosive protection. Although the cement board is durable, it is not easy to dissipate heat in the hot season, and the hot gas evaporated after thunder and rainstorm is large, which has an impact on bluegrass, so if conditions permit, it is ideal to use wood strips as countertops.
