Orchids with a variety of types and variants are very interesting collectible. exploration and exploitation of orchids that grow naturally in the forest have been done a long time without regard to its sustainability. The existence of orchids in the wild is now endangered and may be extinct. Action to prohibit the taking of orchids in the forests should be strictly enforced to prevent the loss of species of orchids.

Here are a few types of Orchids in Indonesia are threatened with extinction and need immediate action to protect.
1. Ascocentrum Miniatum.
2. Coelogyne Pandurata.
3. Corybas Fonicatus.
4. Cymbidium Hartinahianum.
5. Dendrobium Catenecloesum.
6. Dendrobium d'Albertisii.
7. Dendrobium Lasianthera.

Environmental conditions terrace house or yard is different, depending on the location and condition of the porch and yard. Often the constraints in the face are:

1. Lack of light, both the intensity and duration of irradiation.

2. Humidity is very low or very dry conditions

3. Rays that are too hot and the temperature of the hot / high

4. Gusts of wind is too loud / large or otherwise not even a breeze.

5. It never rained rain or vice versa continues.

The bottom line is that we must overcome such a bad shape, into a condition suitable to the needs of Growing Orchids.

Shortage of light can be overcome by providing a mirror so that light can be reflected toward Orchid plants, either for the purpose of adding the intensity of sunlight. For example if a narrow home page so that incoming rays starting at 10 am and the afternoon was gone at 2 pm, to increase the radiation then we can use mirrors to get light orchids longer. Or if we want to add more length of exposure so we can provide lighting to light the plant gets a longer time (14-16 hours of irradiation).

To adjust the humidity can use a sprayer and a timer, or a pot containing water (hydroponic pot), or swimming under the orchids etc.. If too often exposed to rain so it's good at reducing by giving shade.

Similarly with the wind, when wind gusts are too tight then it can be an obstacle, and vice versa when there is no wind it can be given a small fan in order to get the wind. The wind is very important to regulate the humidity and air circulation.

When we look at cultivation techniques that exist today, namely The Orchid Plantation System that uses paranet garden with an iron pole supporting it, and a very intensive treatment systems ranging from fertilizers, disinfectants, anti-disease, hormones and vitamins, etc., then the cost is reasonable if swell, but the result is also very impressive.

But the actual cultivation of Orchids do not have to like it. When the different purposes it can be change its cultivation methods. For example if we want to care for orchids in the courtyard of a house with a number that is not a lot of the treatment method can also be adapted to the conditions and environment.

For Orchid Care in the home  so we can adjust to existing conditions, can be affixed under the tree, or can use a pole of a dead tree trunks are entwined with the fibers, or can be made a shade with a small paranet, etc.. Thus does not require an expensive cost.

The problem often faced is the ignorance of orchid care and environmental conditions are very limited

Problems in Caring For Orchids mainly due to lack of food intake for these orchids. This is due to orchids in general media such as charcoal or attached to the ferns, etc., so that by the time the fertilizer is only a small part that can be absorbed by roots and leaf stomata, and the other is wasted because the form of media that can not bind the water. That is why it is feeding the orchids should be diligent in early afternoon.

Must be distinguished between giving food intake by flushing water and retain moisture. Understanding water flush is not clear, whether the given intake of food or just completely drenched with water only. This is what often makes orchids gradually become thin and even die.

And often a lot of patio dry conditions with very low humidity, for this it must find a way to orchids is not drought. Either way sprayer automatic spraying, or by adjusting the humidity to remain high, giving the pool below it, or a pot containing water (hydroponic pot).

For the purpose of caring for Orchids with hobbies, who performed in the yard or porch, then that should be considered are:

1. Provide adequate food intake for orchids.
2. Availability of adequate water for various purposes, such as for watering and maintaining moisture.
3. Environmental conditions are adequate, sufficient sunlight in terms of both intensity and duration of irradiation.

Adequate food intake can be seen from a healthy crop conditions, fat, proportional, rapid growth, new stems at least equal to or greater than the previous one. Feeding would be better if sustainable, consisting of a variety of foods needed.

Some of the intake of foods that can be given:

1. Leaf manure ready to use on the market such as: Gandasil, vitabloom, Gaviota, etc..
2. Organic fertilizer on the market.
3. Fish oil on the market, such as Alaska
4. Hormones and vitamins on the market., Such as: Atonik, B1 Liquinox,
5. NPK.

In addition we can also provide additional food from the organic remains of the household:

1. Rice water wash
2. The remaining water tea
3. water washing of meat
4. Broth / vegetable leftovers.

Can we also make a concoction of ingredients are there:

1. Solution fetsin / sasa / Miwon: 1 g per liter
2. Vitamin Neurobion: a third pill in one liter of water.
3. Coconut water 150 ml in one liter of water.

Can we also make organic fertilizers from materials available:

1. Leftover food, vegetable, fruit skin and the rest in a blender until smooth + 30 g sugar + 2-5 ml of microbial decomposers. (Can use EM4)
2. Animal urine, rabbit, goat + coconut water + 200 ml + 30 g sugar-degrading microbes 2-5 ml.

Pest and Disease Treatment

For treatment we can make from materials that are disekiling us. If the orchid is used for ill or good a preventive may be used:

1. Garlik / garlic extract. Garlic about 2-3 cloves blended and dissolved in one liter of water given in orchids. To use just a little early stages so that the plant is not shocked.
2. In the event of an attack of pests can be sprayed with tobacco extracts. Lemongrass, or neem or zodia about 250 g dissolved in one liter of water.
