Raise orchids in balcony greenhouse

How to make full use of balcony to plant orchids, develop balcony economy and enrich people's material and cultural life is a topic of great concern to orchid friends in cities and towns. One year of orchid cultivation in greenhouse is equivalent to three years of natural orchid cultivation, which greatly shortens the propagation cycle of orchids, greatly improves the economic benefits, and makes many orchid families taste sweets. in the past two years, more and more orchids have been raised in greenhouse. If your orchids invest in many high-quality products, it is very necessary to build a balcony greenhouse.

Morning light can promote orchid photosynthesis, improve the temperature of the orchid room, sunset in the west, ultraviolet light is too strong, easy to burn orchid leaves. "to meet the rising sun and avoid the west sun" is the basic principle that should be followed in choosing balcony to raise orchids. China is located in the north of the equator, the balcony should be preferred in the southeast, followed by the east, south and north, not in the southwest and west. At the same time, orchids avoid the heat, oil fumes and dust from kitchens, restaurants and factories, so they should try to avoid or stay away from them. If you want to choose a new house and raise orchids, you can give priority to the ground floor that can use the courtyard dam to grow orchids or the top floor that can use the roof to grow orchids. No matter live in the floor, roof or the middle of the floor, you can use the balcony to raise orchid; whether it is indoor balcony or outdoor balcony, it can be used to nourish orchid after transformation.

Enterprises need to build factories and equipment, and to raise fine orchids, they should also be willing to spend money on building greenhouses. The balcony orchid cultivation is relatively bad in natural state, with strong light, strong wind and easy drying. Therefore, it is necessary to properly transform the balcony, artificially simulate and cultivate the ecological environment, make it consistent with the natural state as much as possible, and try to solve the problems of sunshade, rain shading, heat preservation, moisturizing and anti-theft.

In order to solve the problems of heat preservation, moisturizing and rain protection, the orchid room needs to be closed, and the outer wall of the orchid room can be made of a push-pull door and window structure made of sunlight board or white glass plus aluminum alloy frame or closed with plastic film. to facilitate the penetration of natural light and facilitate the opening of the orchid room for ventilation and ventilation, installed with screen windows to prevent mosquitoes and dust. The top of the orchid room of the outdoor balcony had better use double-layer design, equipped with double-layer rolling curtain sunshade net, should be made into "umbrella" shape, should not be made into a flat roof, in order to facilitate sunshade and cooling and drainage in midsummer. The humidity of balcony greenhouse can be controlled automatically by humidifier. The commonly used ones are automatic humidifier made in Taiwan and automatic temperature and humidity control equipment produced in Pengzhou, Sichuan. The inner balcony usually has a closed outer protective wall of a certain height, and if the orchid basin is placed directly on the ground, the protective wall will affect the ventilation and lighting of the orchid room, the fan can be installed, and the orchid basin will be raised with a certain height bracket. make the orchid basin flush with the outer wall or slightly higher than the outer wall. In the case of no leakage, water-absorbing materials can be laid on the floor of the orchid room to replenish water regularly to adjust the air humidity in the orchid room. If the floor of the indoor balcony is eroded by water for a long time, it is easy to cause floor leakage and affect neighborhood relations. In order to maintain the humidity of the orchid room, we can use the "sitting basin type", that is, we can use the bracket to hold up the water plate with a depth of 4Mel and 5 centimeters, and sit the orchid basin directly in the water plate; or we can use the "hanging type", that is, the water plate is placed at the lower end, and the orchid basin is suspended with a bracket, which can not only achieve the purpose of heat preservation, but also ensure that the ground does not drip water when watering, and let the water eventually stay in the water plate. The temperature of different heights in the orchid room will be different, and the multi-layer placement of the orchid basin will affect the inconvenient management of orchid lighting, it is best to put only one layer.

There are many ways to warm up, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The main heating equipment are:

1. Air conditioning. The 2P type air conditioner can be used in the orchid room with an area of 10 square meters, but the cooling effect of the air conditioner is often good but the heating effect is poor. the difference between the display temperature of the air conditioner and the actual temperature of the orchid room in winter is too big to achieve the predetermined effect, and the power consumption cost is high.

two。 Hot fan, electric oven, radiator. The heating effect is good, but the sudden decrease of air humidity in the orchid room will cause the humidifier to work continuously, the cost is high, and the noise of the hot fan affects the night rest.

3. Natural gas oven. The heating effect is good and the cost is moderate. Natural gas combustion mainly produces water and carbon dioxide, which can increase humidity. Carbon dioxide is a kind of gas fertilizer, which can increase the carbon content in the air indoors, which is conducive to photosynthesis and produce more nutrients. Orchids absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen during respiration and photosynthesis. In contrast, it is best to use natural gas if possible, but strictly abide by safety regulations and strictly prevent accidents such as poisoning.

The main methods of cooling are to use air conditioning to reduce temperature and to spray water and shade outside the orchid room.

There are many rainy and foggy days in Sichuan Basin, and the light is insufficient. Plant lamps can be installed within 50 meters of the orchid leaves to supplement the light of the orchids.

The location and construction of the orchid room must also consider its security in order to prevent theft. Commonly used anti-theft methods are: using steel bars, iron nets and anti-theft doors to strengthen the orchid room; installing alarms and television monitoring equipment; dog guards and people to watch.
