Orchids really add vibrant beauty to your home. Beautiful orchids make your home aesthetically appealing and enrich the quality of your living. I have really admired the qualities of orchids that enhance the natural beauty of your home décor. How do you make your orchids really happy? If you can make them happy then you will be successful in beautifying your home. Select your orchids carefully. Some orchids might not do well for your type of climate and you would need to create a typical atmosphere for the orchids to do be happy.
Control the temperature in your home. Typically orchids thrive well between 11 and 14 degrees Celsius. There are multiple varieties of orchids and each of them requires optimum temperature setting for best performance. Phalaenopsis would love 15 degrees C while Cymbidium would glow in 12 degrees. Temperature drives the flowering of orchids naturally.
Humidity is the most important factor for glowing orchids. Keep the humidity level in your room between 60% and 75%. This is the perfect growing atmosphere for your orchids. You can increase the humidity level by keeping your orchid pot in a big vessel containing small pebbles and clean water.
Improve the ventilation in your home to make sure that your orchids get sufficient air. Air circulation is crucial as well. Don’t keep them in direct contact of the sun else the beauty of the orchids would fade out and their growth would eventually stop.
Make sure that you use the right fertilisers and pesticides to ensure that the orchids show optimum growth. Don’t overdo things. If you increase the content of fertilisers and pesticides then it would reduce the flowerings. Just use the quantity that is most suitable for efficient growth and flowering.
Orchids don’t need much water. During summer you can water them after every 5-7 days. In winter keep the watering period between 10-12 days. Do not put water directly on the plant. Sprinkle water on the soil. This is the best way to water your orchids.
All these steps will help to keep your Orchids really happy.
