Analysis of light requirements of orchids at different stages

Orchids like yin this characteristic must have been heard of, but only the word "like yin" can not well explain the orchid's demand for light! The orchid is a princess who is very picky about the sun. It knows very well that it shines a little more and less. The demand for light in different periods of orchids, do not hurry to write down!

Generally speaking, orchids are shade-loving plants and like an environment that can accept scattered light. However, in different periods of growth, the demand for light is still slightly different. If you want to raise orchids better, the habits of these small nuances must be well taken care of.

When the sun is too strong, the color of the orchid will gradually fade, in fact, it is a self-protection mechanism of its own, in order to avoid being sunburned by the strong light, but it does not have much effect. After a long time, the leaves will turn yellow, scorch and die. In fact, orchids can withstand high temperatures, the general summer of 37, 38 degrees weather is no problem, it is not resistant to exposure.

During the period from leaf growth to early flowering, it can receive more light. Sufficient light will make the leaves broad and thick, lack of light will make the leaves long and thin, the color is also relatively dim. If there is not enough light in the early stage of flowering, photosynthesis can not be carried out fully, affecting the formation of the "flower primordium", and there will be no flower buds to grow.

When the orchid sprouts, there can be more light, especially when the autumn buds germinate, the sunshine in autumn and winter is relatively mild, and the growth of new buds needs sufficient sunshine, and the sunshine time during autumn bud germination should be satisfied for 6 hours. in order to make the buds grow up before the beginning of winter, but also by the way to store nutrients for winter.

Before flowering, that is, when the arrow leaves sprout, you can let it accept more sunlight, otherwise the later flower color is not gorgeous, the flower has no fragrance. On the other hand, when the bud breaks and the petals begin to stretch, it is necessary to reduce the amount of sunlight, especially to avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the petals are easy to be wrinkled and cannot be fully stretched, and they are also easy to change color because of burns.
