How difficult is it to raise orchids on city balconies in summer? Perhaps only friends in the city can realize that it is hot and dry, and even the air is hot. And orchids are most afraid of this climate, what should I do? Orchid friends thought of many ways, such as hanging water curtains, blowing fans and so on.

But the effect is still not ideal, because the general environment of the city in summer is muggy, no matter how the wind has no effect. So what do we do? Let the orchid survive this summer? An orchid friend from Guangdong shared a method with a good farmer, which I think is worth popularizing.

He puts the mineral water bottle in the freezer, freezes it into ice and puts it in the gap between the orchid pots, so that the local environment can be cooled. Put a bottle of water in a pot of orchids, and the melting time of a bottle of water is about four hours, changing three to four times a day. Local cooling can also drive air circulation, forming a cooler wind than normal temperature, which electric fans can not do.

The good farmer thinks that the melting time of the mineral water bottle is a little short, so it is recommended to use a large ice pack, such as this one, which can be kept at 6 hours (32 degrees at room temperature). Good photographers have done experiments that orchids with ice bags tend to produce dew, perhaps because of the temperature difference.

If you raise not many orchids, balcony space is convenient, you can try this method, the advantage of this method is low cost. Good photo farmers are rural people, and most of the things they do are based on the cost, which makes city friends laugh.

Orchid friends, do you have a better way to spend the summer with orchids? If so, please stay in the comments section. Thank you!
