Dendrobium Airway Blue X Blue Angel

Orchids are perennial plants that grow attached to the trees rather than in soil. There are nearly 1000 genera and 25000 species of orchids which come with distinctive features. A single plant can bear many flowers. Their blooms are mostly colorful and fragrant.

These plants are generally seen in the tropical regions of Africa. Hence the home growers should take care to provide a similar living atmosphere for your plants. These are generally easier to care for if such requirements are rightly met. They thrive even in sudden temperature or humidity changes.

Water

Once in 2 days

Orchids don’t demand more water. Hence water the plant whenever you find their roots dry. Water the plants once in 2 days during winter and once in a day during summer. Also, make sure the water is drained off through the holes below. Do not water the leaves or flowers as it may affect the plants by resulting in yellowing of the leaves or their flower life.

Potting Mix

Orchids should be given a natural environment to thrive. Coconut fiber, clay tile and charcoal chunks can serve as an excellent potting mix for orchids. In addition, there should be enough gap provided for the roots to get sufficient breathing space and the water to drain off.

Sunlight

Do not place orchids in dark places. Always keep in places where it gets bright indirect sunlight for its healthy growth. If the leaves are green enough, the plant is receiving sufficient sunlight. Instead, if you find the leaves too dark in color, it is an indicator that the plant is not receiving sufficient light and water.

Temperature and humidity

A warm tropical temperature of above 50 degree Fahrenheit is what orchids prefer.

The plants thrive in a minimum of 75 percent of humidity. Therefore, remember to mist the plant as required with water in ‘room temperature’, if it is grown outside. Thankfully orchids don’t react to sudden changes in the atmosphere.

Fertilizers

You may apply both organic or inorganic fertilizers on orchid plants. But the most crucial part is that these plants demand fertilizers only in ‘balanced’ amounts. If applied in excess, it may affect the effective growth of plants’ roots and shoots. You may apply fertilizers once in every week. But just spraying the fertilizers in a mild amount would suffice for these plants.

If you are looking for organic fertilizers, you may try applying cow dung liquid fertilizer, chickpea fertilizer or liquid fertilizer formulated from coconut water. While using any of these, the fertilizer should be well-diluted with water. The diluted water should be double the amount of the fertilizer used.

Organic fertilizers should be used during summer and inorganic fertilizers during the rainy season.

More importantly, water the plant before applying any fertilizer. And while applying the fertilizer, apply it on the roots, shoots and leaves, except the flowers.
