Generally speaking, orchids are shade-loving plants. However, light is also indispensable in its normal growth. The summer light is so strong that you can see the light before seven o'clock in the morning and shade it after seven o'clock. Bask in the sun as much as possible in winter. In addition, different types of light requirements are also different, need to pay attention to.

1. Is light indispensable

Although on the whole, orchids are more shady plant species. However, you should not be in a completely dark environment. The role of light is also indispensable, mainly reflected in these aspects:

(1) Light is one of the important sources of nutrients for plants. Without sunlight, the accumulation of organic matter will be hindered.

(2) Light is also a necessary factor for the production of chlorophyll.

(3) Light is needed for a series of important life activities, such as stomatal opening and closing, water absorption, flower bud formation and so on.

2. Treatment in different seasons

Mainly talk about winter and summer. The temperature in winter is very low, so it should be exposed to as much light as possible so that it can survive the winter safely. However, the light is too strong in summer, but it can not be without light. Therefore, it is generally chosen to receive light before 7 o'clock in the morning, when the light will be very soft and will not burn the leaves. After seven o'clock, the shading is about 50% to 90. In spring and autumn, scattered light is fine.

3. Requirements of different varieties

The demand for light is not only related to the season, but also to the variety. For example, Jianlan has a relatively high demand for light, shading 60% to 70 percent. Chunlan and Cymbidium are about 70% to 80% sunshade. Mulan doesn't like light very much, and the shade is about 85%.
