Tell me - how to properly care for an orchid? What suits her better - the sunny side or the shady side?
My wife really loves orchids, so I know a little about it. For the growth of an orchid, the sunny side is necessary, otherwise there will be no photosynthesis. But, if the sun shines very intensely, then it is worth placing it further from the window or in the shade so that the leaves do not burn.
My orchids are on the sunny side. During the day, when the sun is very bright, I close the window from direct rays. Water as it dries.
If it’s not very hot in your region, you can leave it on the window. See how the flower feels. If the leaves are beautiful (not limp from dampness or spoilage of the roots, without yellow spots from the heat, without black spots from fungus) - then everything is fine. Flowering occurs according to the following system: after flowering, a period of rest (in different species from 2 weeks to six months), a new root, a new leaf, a new arrow with a peduncle (all in sequence)
We have a phalaenopsis orchid growing at home; it has very beautiful numerous white flowers. We grow the plant in a plastic pot that has holes on the sides to allow air to pass through. The pot is covered with bark. The orchid does not like moisture and should be watered very rarely.
I have had an orchid for three years now, but for some reason it doesn’t bloom, I want to replant it, maybe this will help it.
We have phalaenopsis and it blooms every year. First, it throws out an arrow, on which up to a dozen beautiful white flowers appear. Maybe you overwater the orchid; it doesn’t like a lot of moisture. If there are more than four leaves at the bottom, there is excess moisture.
I didn’t know that if there are more than four leaves at the bottom, then there is excess moisture. I have these orchids. While I learned how to care for them, I destroyed many plants, unfortunately. Now there are phalaenopsis left, I water them by immersing them for 15-20 minutes. And the dendrobium, which did not bloom, now from spring to autumn I take it out onto the balcony and blooms wildly - it needs the temperature difference.
I was recently given an orchid. And I literally didn’t have any home flowers.
They said watering once a week. It's in a plastic pot that sits in a plastic bucket. To make watering convenient, that is, to saturate the soil. It is quite large, and this glass can barely stand, I want to replant it. I've read the forum, I'll probably make up my mind. I just don’t know what to do with the soil. Which one should I take so that she likes it?
The orchid should not be planted in the ground, but in tree bark poured into a plastic pot. It would be nice if there were still small holes in the walls of the pot so that air could flow in. You can water the flower through the tray of the pot.
That is, there should be no land at all?
The one I have is planted in the ground. It's blooming, here it is.
I water it not often, once every three weeks, using the immersion method. In general, I replanted it, it became much better, I have six leaves, does that mean 2 extra?
Orchids are suitable for western and eastern windows. Water no more than once a week. Even if you forget about watering for a month, she will calmly endure it (you can go on vacation). Doesn't like drafts - it immediately drops flowers.
And, by the way, they are not watered, but the pot is lowered into water for 20-30 minutes so that the soil is well saturated.
The orchid is not very adventurous, can withstand long periods of time without water, does not particularly need the sunny side, but does not like direct sunlight. You can water it 1-2 times a week, you can see by the roots; if they are dry, water them; if they are still greenish, then it’s not worth it.
Like many flowers, orchids love the sun, but not direct sunlight. Therefore, look for a suitable window where it is very bright. And don’t fill it up; it’s better not to fill it up than to overfill it.
Never overdo it with watering. It’s better to keep it smaller or just dip it in water and the roots will absorb as much moisture as they need. When flowering, do not move from place to place, otherwise the flowers will quickly fall off.
You know, I transplanted my orchid into a regular pot, not transparent. And it didn’t go too badly for me. Blooms. The main thing is watering and light. It doesn't have to be a transparent pot, the main thing is care.
Yes, orchids do not like direct sunlight, and I also read that under no circumstances should they be replanted during flowering, and in general, they can easily survive without replanting for three years, in their own plastic cup (meaning a purchased orchid) .
Personally, my house is not on the sunny side. And everything is fine. Blooms periodically for a very long time. Everything seems to suit her. It was already written correctly - do not overwater orchids. At first I made a mistake and destroyed two bushes.
I have a lot of orchids and this is one of the flowers that does well when moved from place to place. In the cold season, they stand on my sunny windowsill, and in the summer I move them to the east, away from direct sunlight. Water as it dries, but it is better to spray.
So I will be very glad if I can help you
I came across a video lesson that showed how to reanimate an orchid, well there was a similar situation https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=9YJX188YI_I this is one reason why I take my words back, but also even later I came across an article where it was told how to trim an infected root and how to cure it, so I will take back my words because of this article https://fermer.blog/bok/komnatnye-ra...e-orhidej.html since Everything is written there briefly and clearly, and you didn’t have to read one article for two hours
Our Phalaenopsis orchid has been growing for more than five years in tree bark, and the pot itself is plastic, with several holes on the walls. We water the flower very rarely and look at how many leaves it has at the bottom; if there are 4, then the orchid has the most optimal conditions.
