Scaffolding and orchid platform

Orchids like shady and ventilated places. According to the shade habits of orchids, shade shelter equipment should be set up. The private garden is surrounded by walls, and the height of the shade shed is about 3 meters. In short, it is mainly ventilated and transparent. The materials used in the shade shed structure are bamboo or rotten-resistant wood, angle iron and cement columns, which are more durable. After being built, shade curtains are placed on the roof. Curtains can be divided into sparse and dense, depending on the light intensity required by orchids in different seasons. Shade Reed curtain, in addition to being used as a daily shade, can also prevent frost damage in early spring and late autumn nights. In addition, before the orchid stamens budding, there must be moderate scattered sunlight, otherwise the flower color is dim, so it can also be used for flowering maintenance.

Orchid platform can be divided into ladder type and platform type. One of the easiest way is to sit the potted orchid on the ground or on the inverted bottom of the empty flower pot, or on the steps made of bricks and stone strips.

The other is the hanger type which is popular in Japan. First, a narrow frame is made of wood or other materials, and the basin orchid is suspended in the middle of the frame. Each frame can only be arranged in a single row. This type of hanger is suitable for private use when planting a small number of potted orchids. It is characterized by strong ventilation and permeability, and can be used as an ornamental when orchids blossom. (Lin Qingde, Mu Wei)
