You don't have to worry about raising orchids on the balcony to make these flowers.

It is one of the few great pleasures of life to have a small balcony in such a city life. Whether it is an open-air balcony or a closed balcony, it provides an excellent shelter for flowers and plants. There are many advantages of raising orchids on the balcony, but these matters should also be paid attention to.

Balcony planting flowers or obvious advantages, mainly sunshine is sufficient (open-air balcony is better), good gout (closed balcony slightly lack). A big difference between balcony planting and courtyard planting is that the humidity is poor, and the places near the surface are generally more humid, which also has a certain impact on flowers and plants.

Orchids like shade, if you choose to maintain orchids on the balcony, first of all to ensure that it a very good shading environment. Shading net is essential, and if the open-air balcony, the sun can directly shine, the shading rate should reach 70-80%. Because the enclosed balcony is blocked by a layer of glass, the shading rate of the shading net should be maintained at least 60%.

And do not put the orchid on the outermost layer, try to put it in the farthest position where the sun can shine directly, and it is better to put it next to some tall plants or in the corner of the balcony. If there are conditions, the shading net can be made into movable, can be made into blinds, curtains that can be rolled up and down, so that it is convenient to adjust holiday illuminance so that sunshine can be replenished or reduced at any time as needed.

The balcony will be exposed to the sun for a long time, so the amount of water evaporation is large and the air humidity is relatively dry. Increasing the humidity of the air has become a big problem. If the balcony has a variety of plants, you can arrange and combine the potted plants, let the sun-resistant plants on the outside, accept more sunlight, and let the shady orchids and other plants be placed inside.

Summer can sprinkle some water on the ground, let the water evaporate to increase the air humidity, so that orchids and other plants like shade and moisture can better spend the summer. If have condition or balcony space is enough, can be in the balcony against the wall to build 20 cm high storage canal, increase the humidity of the space. You can also easily put some small pots and buckets full of water in the spare place.

When the summer is hot, it is more necessary to ensure the ventilation of the orchid maintenance environment, if the open-air balcony is not much of a problem, if the closed balcony, should pay attention to the window ventilation, it is best to pay attention to the wind direction, can let the air form convection is the best. Otherwise, the window is wide open, but there is no wind at all, so the ventilation effect is not great.
