Guidelines in Growing Orchids


Orchids are such a beauty. They can captivate the senses of any spectator. Any gardener is not complete without an orchid in his own area. Orchids are unique in such a manner that they do not require soil and more so, they can grow attached to a branch or simply put, in the air.

Orchids can be traced back to the ancient history of Greeks. Since then they become symbols of matters like love and purity. Some of them give off amazing smells that can reach many meters from the place they are planted. They are now used for many purposes not only as decorations but also as corsages and fancy necklaces recognizing visitors and guests.

There is a wide variety of orchids. They require different needs too. Although it is burdensome to maintain their elegance and perhaps their fragrance, the rewarding result can wipe all the sweats away. If you happen to be fond of growing orchids or you are on the verge of trying to plant your first one, here are some tips that will help you make it through. These tips are quite common in the internet but they can surefire your success.

a. Getting started- the first thing of course that you need to do is to select your orchid type. This greatly depends on your preferences as well as your climate in the area. Most of the orchids love warm and humid temperatures. If your place is a cold one, then you can choose one that is highly adaptable like the Phalaenopsis. You can actually ask for your local nursery for such supplies.

b. Adequate light and humidity- one of the primary requirements of orchid growing is giving the plant ample sunlight exposure. They need this to make their bodies strong and to stimulate faster flowering. If you grow them inside your house or in your patio, you can bring it outside to be exposed every morning. However, there are also varieties that require less sunlight so that it still boils down to the type of orchid you have in your possession.

c. Planting height- contrary to what most believe, there are orchid varieties that can grow in the soil. Although it has been said that the plants grow well in the air, there is no saying that such cannot thrive with a soil. There are many types that can even be planted on pots. Terrestrial orchids are what they are called. The height of the planting site should also be carefully determined as there are orchids that love great heights as they derive much nutrients from the air. There are those too that like to planted in the lower level of the branches or trunks of trees.

d. Pruning- this is essential for the orchid to maintain its shape as well as to remove the dead roots and plant parts that prove useless to the plant. It can be done periodically depending on the rate of the growth of you orchid. This also entails one to repot if your orchid is of terrestrial in nature. Using garden pruning scissors, this is quite easy to do by just locating roots and stems that are dark brown. There are also roots that are already rotten.

Guidelines on Caring For Orchids in a Greenhouse


Caring for orchids does require replicating growing conditions that they would have in their natural habitat. In terms of temperature, this can be accommodated in one of three basic greenhouse types. They are the hothouse, the temperate house and the cool house.

The ever popular Phalaenopsis species prefer the hothouse treatment. The temperature during night time should not fall below 65 degrees F. (18 degrees C) the daytime temperatures, particularly in summer can be allowed to rise to 86-90 degrees F (30-32 degrees C) without any detriment to the plant.

The Cattleya Orchids prefer the temperate or intermediate greenhouse. The temperature during night time should not fall below 59 degrees F. (15 degrees C) Daytime temperatures must be stable around 86 degrees F (30 degrees C).

The Odontoglossum Orchids prefer the cool greenhouse, because these plants mostly come from high mountain tropical areas, the night time temperature should not fall below 54 degrees F. (12 degrees C) The daytime temperature is equally important, particularly during summer time, and should go no higher than 75-77 degrees F. (24-25 degrees C)

In poor sunlight conditions, on cold winter days, it will be difficult to raise the indoor temperature to the desired level in all three types of greenhouses, therefore, it would be advisable to set the heating to contrast the night and day temperatures by at least 9 degrees F. (5 degrees C)

Light is extremely important to the health and well being of your plants and consequently to their ability to produce beautiful blooms. In terms of light requirement orchids can be split into three groups, namely the full shade, the full sun or the intermediate situation. This third condition is most common because the majority of orchids are epiphytic.

You can use a foot candle meter to measure the level of light in your greenhouse. Whilst there are books that give guidelines they don't always fit every situation, therefore, experimentation and experience become the order of the day. Generally speaking more shade should be provided in summer time to ensure correct temperature and humidity and vice versa in winter.

A properly balanced light system will result in beautiful, healthy plants which produce regular blooms. Shade in your greenhouse can be provided by dark colored nets of various sizes of mesh.

Plants that originate from tropical climates will need a high level of humidity in the greenhouse. It should never go below 50%. A rise in temperature results in a drop in humidity levels. In larger greenhouses sophisticated systems may need to be installed, however, for the smaller greenhouse humidity can be provided by spraying the areas beneath the shelves or by placing containers filled with water. It does help if your flooring is sand or gravel which gives off water. Opening windows on the shady side of the greenhouse can also be beneficial in creating humidity.

Good ventilation is also required for growing healthy orchids, whichever type of greenhouse you have, the atmosphere shouldn't be allowed to go stale. A small fan is the ideal solution for a small or medium sized greenhouse.
