RE: Treatment of orchids from our terrace
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Greetings @duskobgd I am trying to grow orchids but I can't get them to become beautiful let alone bloom. Maybe it is that the temperature in my locality is too hot. I have not tried to keep them indoors as I consider their habitat to be outdoors. I have read that in pots they grow better if they are transparent, that's why I'm curious if they grow very well in the pots you use.

Greetings to you too dear @alborhada 🙂
Our orchids stand in a closed terrace, where during the winter it is a few °C plus, and during the summer it is up to 35°C. Since the ideal temperature for them is 20-25°C, they somehow survive the summer (I water them often, increase the humidity), but when it gets cold, I have to bring them into the apartment.
Since the heating is strong in winter, I keep them on the floor, where it is freshest, around those 22, 23°C.
As for keeping them indoors, that's the only way I've seen them, since our climate is not tropical, there is no humidity and up to 25°C.
And as for the pots, we buy them in those transparent plastic ones with openings through which the excess water comes out, and the ones you see in the pictures are extra ones, in which we keep them so they don't tip over, because that plastic pot is not heavy enough.
