What is the regularity of humidity requirements of potted orchids?

With its unique elegant temperament and elegant posture, orchids are loved by more and more flower friends. So, in the process of orchid culture, the humidity of orchid culture environment can be adjusted and controlled by what characteristics of orchid? What is the regularity of the humidity requirements of potted orchids?

As you all know. The humidity requirements of all kinds of orchids are relatively high, usually about 60% to 70%. However, in the actual culture, we concluded that the humidity demand can also be judged by the leaf quality and leaf shape. First, the quality of leaves. The quality of the leaves of orchids is different. in general, the less the fiber of the leaves, the thicker the mesophyll and the more orchids, the higher the requirement of environmental humidity. For example, the leaves of Cymbidium and Jian Orchid are often thicker than those of Chunlan and Cymbidium, and the mesophyll is much more.

Therefore, the humidity of culture environment of Cymbidium and Jianlan is much higher than that of Cymbidium and Cymbidium. The environmental humidity of Chunlan and Cymbidium can be adjusted to about 50% to 60%, and they will grow well. The humidity of the growing environment of Jianlan needs to be a little higher. The humidity of the growth environment of Cymbidium needs to be about 80%, the plant will grow more exuberantly, and the leaves are greenish and bright, thick and large.

On the other hand, some epiphytic orchids such as Phalaenopsis, Cartland and Oncidium have more fleshy leaves and much less fiber than Chinese orchids. They have higher humidity requirements for their growing environment, generally more than 85%. Thus it can be seen that the growth of Chinese orchids needs a certain environmental humidity, while some epiphytic orchids and foreign orchids, their growth environment humidity is much higher than the national orchid.

Second, leaf shape. The leaf shape is relatively thin, the relatively narrow orchid variety, its growth environment humidity requirements will be relatively low. The orchid varieties with wide, short and thick leaves will have much higher humidity requirements for the growing environment. In short, the growth of Cymbidium needs a certain degree of humidity, but it is far less humid than that of some epiphytic orchids and orchids.

Therefore, flower friends can reasonably adjust the humidity of the orchid environment according to the orchid varieties cultivated.
