Light requirement of Chinese orchids

According to the orchid species, season, time, weather and differences. Orchids are generally divided into three groups:

(1)Light shade orchids need to shade 70 -80% of sunlight intensity.

(2)Moderate shade orchids shade 80 -85% of sunlight intensity.

Epiphytic orchids need more light than terrestrial orchids. More shade in summer than in other seasons, no shade or less shade in winter. Every morning and evening should be more sunshine, noon shade. More shade on a sunny day than on a cloudy day. Our common spring orchid, cymbidium in summer requires a larger shade, should be 70-80%; Jianlan is more light, shade can be between 60%-70%; black orchid needs about 85%. (Wu Yingxiang)
