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.

Orchid seedlings out of the stem or panicle called Keiki. Keiki in Hawaiian language is defined as orchid seedlings from plants tribe. Keiki can grow from the base of the stem or trunk segment and the segment of the flower stalk. Keiki orchids have roots that can be propagated vegetatively.

In phalaenopsis orchids, Keiki can grow from one flower panicle node. While on dendrobium orchids, Keiki usually grow along Pseudobulb, this is caused by the accumulation of growth hormone which is naturally derived or Keiki Pasta applications.
Keiki Paste is a hormone Sitikinin that stimulates the growth of seedlings in the flower stems or panicles orchid Phalaenopsis or Dendrobium orchid Pseudobulb. Keiki paste also contains Auxines to stimulate root growth.

Keiki or orchid seedlings can be planted if it has enough roots to the leaves between 3 and 5 for the type of Phalaenopsis (monopodial) or above 3 Bulb for Dendrobium (sympodial).

Keiki are planting;

1. Provide Pot and growing media.
2. Keiki Cut with a sharp knife or scissors.
3. At the time of planting using stand / stick to prop up the Keiki.
4. Do not hoard Keiki roots with growing media, let the roots are above the planting medium.

Subsequent treatments, the same as caring for orchids in general, water and fertilize regularly.

If in one pot clump of Orchid collections we have many, means it's time we reduce clumps. It is very important for the rejuvenation and an opportunity to multiply plants. Cutting activities, separate clumps of orchids is usually done in sympodial orchids. Ex: Dendrobium, Oncidium, Cattleya, etc.. How to cut / orchid plants reproduce vegetatively This is a very fun and entertainment for fans of orchids.

Noteworthy in the cut orchid plants is to make the cuts / pieces as small as possible. Scars / cuts frequent infections and decay. Close the scar with the anti-infective, eg, iodine (betadine) could also use a fungicide (smeared). Try orchids are separated more than 3 pseudobulb (in one family). When clumps of orchids in potting soil (usually root will stick in the pot), soak a few minutes in the water, drag and drop the root from the pot. Rinse the roots.

Planting orchids with the position of young plants (pseudobulb) facing the center of the pot. This way to facilitate pseudobulb grow. (Read: Planting Keiki) pseudobulb base Usually there are 2-4 new buds.

You have trouble blooming orchid plants?, Special treatment is needed to stimulate and accelerate the flowering process in your Orchid plants.

Granting MSG

Try to use the MSG / MSG to stimulate flowering, the content of monosodium glutamate has a role as a growth stimulating hormones (gibberellins) and trigger the orchid to produce gibberellins. Provision made ??in plants that are grown, function only as a catalyst. While the energy that support the occurrence of flowering in supply through provision of fertilizer.

Containment / Lid

Giving Containment / lid on the plant will cause humidity to rise, more stomata open wide so that photosynthesis is better; would be optimal if accompanied by the provision of  P elements with high doses. Use a cloth or paper with a dark color as the lid.

Light intensity

There is a difference in light intensity level needs (in general) between: 4000-5000fc dendrobium, phalaenopsis 2000fc, 3000-4000fc Cattleya. In bright daylight, the intensity of the sun 10.000fc be required percentage:  40-50% Dendrobium, Phalaenopsis 20%, 30-40% Cattleya (you can adjust it to use a different paranet size).

With the addition of setting the light intensity, seedlings  that should bloom at the age of 1.5 years, can already flowering at the age of 8 months. The addition can be done by drying without paranet on 07.00-10.00 am (in addition to Cattleya need longer dark conditions for flowering).

Setting the stability of nutrients with hydroponics techniques

Use a drip system (drip irrigation) to control the amount of fertilizer to the plant intake, do it with the provision of a complete liquid fertilizer and the addition of a systemic fungicide. Adjustable speed drops to the level of evaporation that occurs.

Use of hormones gibberellins

Performed on plants grown to spur diversity cell function, so that the cells are directed for growth of shoots can be transferred to the flowering process.

Dose according to the type of plants, generally 2 mg / liter. If the concentration is too small, flowering will not occur, it will grow shoots. If given too much will inhibit the formation of flowers or flower to grow but quickly fell out and then will not bloom at all.

Inhibiting growth hormone usage

This hormone is also called retardants, are widely used is Paclobutrazol. Function inhibits the growth of shoots that become dormancy, the energy of this phase will be growing and collected ... for 3 months. After that dormancy should be solved with the provision of gibberellins and the plant will bloom simultaneously.

Coconut Water proved to have benefits for improving plant growth, Coconut Water is also used as additional nutrients in the tissue culture medium. Results showed that Coconut Water is rich in Potassium to 17%. In addition to mineral rich, Coconut Water also contains Sugar between 1.7 to 2.6 % and Protein 0.07 up to 0.55%. Other minerals such as Sodium (Na), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Ferum (Fe), Cuprum (Cu), Phosphorus (P), and Sulfur (S). In addition to mineral rich, coconut Water also contains various vitamins such as Citric Acid, Nicotinic Acid, Pantotenal Acid, Folic Acid, Niacin, Riboflavin, and Thiamin. There are also Two mineral hormones, Auxin and Cytokinin is supporter of Coconut embryo cell division.

Research at The National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (BIOTECH) UP Los Banos revealed that Coconut Water can be extracted from hormone which then created a product called COCOGRO Supplements. Results study to show that the hormone product of the Coconut Water is able to increase soybean yields up to 64%, up to 15% for peanuts and vegetables up to 20-30%. With the elemental content of Potassium is high enough, Coconut Water can stimulate flowering in Orchids, like the Dendrobium and Phalaenopsis.

From now on, try to set aside a little Coconut Water for granted as additional nutrients to the Orchids bellowed. Good luck and don't forget to share information as an evaluation to your friends

How to minimize and avoid them.
Overwatering, due mostly to water Orchids is very detrimental. Not only financially, but also time. What is clear with the occurence of uncontrolled " Overwatering" will cause distrubed plant growth. As a result of Overwatering on Orchid plants like rooten roots, the growth of fungi and bacteria. Anticipating high rainfall condition and the humidity is high enough to watch. Threats Overwatering must quickly overcome as solution found.

Some things happen that can minimize Overwatering :

1. Selection of type of POT should be appropriate, wear a lot of Pot holes, so that the pouring rain / watering time will be wasted directly from the pot. When you used a plastic pot, add holes and holes in addition to below can be enlarged.

2. Use planting medium that does not bind water or have a lot of drainage and aeration is good. So that the pouring rain / watering constant is not stored in the pot. Avoid the use of media Sphagnum Moss or Coconut fiber, which both have high water holding capacity. Media that can be used is Wood Charcoal or Fern.

3. Drainage and air flow in the garden should be good. In the event of rain, the water can be directly discarded completely. There are no puddles plantation house. Can be added to the fan when the air flow is poor. This will help the evaporation of the remnants of rain water.

4. To anticipate the growth of fungi and bacteria, spray regurarly once a week with fungicide and bactericide. Dose according to the ruler of the maker.

5. To avoid Overwatering incident, the maintenance of the greenhouse plastic is strongly recommended. Everything can be controlled, including the need for water. Besides the quality of flowers, generally will be better than the open garden.

Actually only one problem," WATER", but can spread and cause other problems, including disease and death. Speed and accuracy are needed to overcome this, in order to avoid greater looses. The five things above hopefully can become the rationale for you, who have a problem with Overwatering. It would be better to anticipate earlier than had already occurred further damage.

At first when buying Orchids in bloom with gorgeous, but after being treated for some time, do not ever want to bloom again, and many were dead. In general, orchid lovers think that taking care of orchids is difficult, Is it really that difficult to care for orchids? What causes different orchid care for treating plants with another? Although for some people it has to be overcome, but there are still many who have difficulty in caring for orchids to bloom again.

For that we need to decompose the problem and find out the cause and provide alternative solutions. That's why this post was made. Although simple, this paper may be useful in:

1. Understanding the problems in the care of orchids.
2. Understanding the factors that affect growth and development of orchid.
3. we love to make orchids bloom again.

Mistakes in Caring for Orchids.

A. Orchid planting medium is equated with other ornamental plant growing media.
Many orchid enthusiasts equate caring for orchids with other plants, they just do watering only. Even some that such a lack of attention, watering just remembered This is due to the perception of those who thought that the orchids in the forest does not need watering and do not need to be fed. In the forest do not need to be fed and drinking caused his condition still can support the growth of orchid. Orchids grow on large trees with thick bark cavity is overgrown with moss. Moss contains microbes that can bind to the N from the air. So although not given food, but they still get it from the degradation of bark and dust and nutrient elements from the air. Similarly, the availability of water is always available with the moss and the bark cavity. Plus the appropriate environmental conditions, sunlight, humidity and wind circulated.

Another case with orchid plants grown in pots using charcoal or pieces of tile or coconut fiber. Although capable of binding a little water but no food, microbes that can bind elements of N from the air does not exist, extreme environmental conditions, strong wind, the light is too hot, high temperature, low humidity, this all makes supplied water became exhausted and lack of food, then the plant will eventually become dehydrated and suffered permanent wilting. In order to defend themselves from these conditions then orchids leaves reduce evaporation by abort, be the orchid becomes barren and quasi-living bulb stem only.

B. The roots of orchids are considered the same as other ornamental plant roots.
There orchid enthusiasts who have the wrong mindset, which he knows that charcoal or pieces of tile, or coconut fiber foods contain no or little, for it then he adds manure and compost. He forgot that the roots of orchids are different from ordinary roots of ornamental plants. The roots of the orchid is a natural root attached to the tree so that tree roots naturally orchids do not like when the pent-up media or do not like when the air circulation is poor. As with the roots of ornamental plants that are naturally able to function well in the soil. That's why when the media were given orchid mix of manure and compost, then the conditions become too tight and solid for the roots of orchids, especially if a lot of watered and moist, it will cause the roots of orchids will rot.

C. Orchid plants fertilized deemed unnecessary.
There are still many fans who just poured water orchid just for orchids, or there is also a modest provide water to wash rice, meat or sometimes laundry or given MSG, or the rest of the beverage tea. All are allowed but it is not sufficient. We must not feed the orchid only recollection and sober, but we must provide routine and regular  food in adequate amounts. What else is flowering orchid plant conditions, meaning they require food orchid plants in considerable amounts.

Nutritious food for orchids include:

1. Macro and micro nutrients contained in a complete fertilizer such as grow more, Hyponex, Gandasil etc. all the necessary nutrients in appropriate composition. And the amount that fits.
2. P element in greater numbers to support the process of flowering. This P element can be met in the form of fertilizers with high P dominance.
3. Gibberellin hormone is a hormone that play a role in the development of flowering and fruiting. The existence of this hormone is important at the time of flowering process
4. Instant energy source can be met from the organic material or energy source that many of us encounter in our lives such as: sugar, honey, palm extract, molasses, soy sauce.
5. Organic matter is a very important ingredient that will help many metabolic processes in these orchids. Can be from: young coconut water, water, juice, chlorophyll and spirulina.
6. Fish oil is a provider of fatty acids are also important in the process of plant metabolism.
7. Vitamins, especially Vitamin B1, B6 and B12 are very important in the process of cell division and organ morphogenesis processes and so on.

D. Orchid plants can be grown anywhere in the paste from under the tree.
Most orchid enthusiasts tried to put the same as in natural orchid that grows attached to the tree, and it was considered adequate for growing orchids, but not so. Orchids require specific environmental conditions to grow well.

Orchids require environmental conditions that meet their individual needs, namely:

1. Light intensity 60-80%, for that indeed can be placed under a shaded tree about 40-20%, or we can also use paranet with the appropriate density. But there is another factor of the rays are much forgotten by fans of orchids, namely the length of exposure (exposure duration). The duration of exposure required is about 12 hours. For that it should really be put in place that is open but given paranet. While at home  conditions, duration of exposure is often lacking. The sun is often started on orchids after hours of 10 and had obstructed a neighbor's house around 4 pm, so practically only get the light just 6 hours, that is definitely lacking. Alternatively we can do is to provide artificial illumination with a lamp. In fact we can create environmental conditions that we want the light beam that is required is equivalent to 40 watt fluorescent lamp with a distance of 30-40 cm. We can add the length of the light deficiency by providing the fluorescent lamp.

2. A good temperature is around 25-28 o C, it is very influential on the speed of metabolism in these orchids. If too high it will proceed fast metabolism will cause the depletion of energy and not balanced with the need for light and food ingredients that are available.

3. Humidity is needed about 60 -90% .. It is important to keep moisture from the roots and leaves of orchids. However, that need attention in these high humidity conditions, the air circulation is very important.

4. Circulation of air / wind plays an important role in the process (evapotranspiration), which play a role transporting foodstuffs from the root to the leaves. And this circulation does not play a role for microbial population explosion due to high humidity.

5. The availability of continuous water but not wet, and muddy. That's why the media need to be in cut orchids or big hollow blob media so that good air circulation but on the sidelines of the media are still able to hold water so that the presence of water can be better maintained.

Treating Techniques Orchids To Flower Back.

1. Placement Orchid.

Place the orchid in place in accordance with their needs. If we do not have a suitable venue then we can modify it to suit the needs of the environment.

Above all is the problem of lack of light, in this case is a matter of the length of exposure. Tips can make the transfer pot is adjusted to a sunny location in one day, but this requires a fairly intensive attention. Another way is to install lights for this plant. For money we spent in accordance with the value we want then we can put a few orchid plants on a single lamp.

The length of adjustable lighting installation needs a few hours then when shortages we can add the amount of the deficiency. Or it could be full of orchids we replace the need for light with a lamp. This is when the objective is the orchid is indeed about to be placed in the house permanently, so we also get to enjoy the benefits of beautiful orchid flowers in the house.

Conditioning not only on light but also on the humidity, we could put a Smoker or if there is no fine sprayer can be turned on by timers, so that moisture can be better maintained.

Similarly, we can use wind circulation fan of small computers that we attach so as to produce subtle but still there is wind, it is very important for plant transpiration.

Food can we give to the drip irrigation system to guarantee will not be short. To this we can make it by making the infusion system. Food infuse our input on the bottle or water bottle batteries are small holes connected with a hose end of the flute aerator for fish tank and a hose clamp end of the flute was given to control the speed of droplets that come out of the interval.

2. Feeding.

Provide adequate food and nutrition in terms of completeness in number. To that end so that growth can flourish and bloom again it needs to be given:

a. Fertilizer complete macro and micro nutrients (such as Gandasil, grow more, Hyponex etc.) with the recommended dose. Fertilizing is done at intervals of every day.
b. Vitamin B1 5 mg / l, B6 3 ml / l and B12 3 mg / l given 2 days. Sprayed throughout the plant.
c. The hormone gibberellin 2 mg / l given 2 days once sprayed throughout orchids
d. Fish oil at a dose of 1 ml / l is given once a week sprayed to the roots only.
e. When the media is mixed with mos or coconut fiber (so as not to spill through the sidelines of the media is very hollow that we can provide granular fertilizer Dekastar to ensure that the orchid will not be shortage of food.
f. For orchids that are in the process of flowering can grow large and long lasting then we can give a mixture of B1 5 mg / l, water, sugar 30 g / l and gibberellin 2 mg / l. sprayed on the roots. Spraying can be done once day for the orchid is still blooming.

3. Replace Pot

Changing Pot, aims to move the orchids to a bigger pot so the roots can hold well and can absorb the food with the optimal. Often for the orchids that have been growing for some time, the roots have started to come out of the pots and hanging. For some specific types such as Vanda does not matter, but in the orchid Dendrobium should be transfer to larger pots with planting medium more enough, so that the orchid can grow better in accordance with the size is getting bigger.

There are some orchid fans the wrong perception by the roots of this orchid. Maybe because that person wanted to look nice and neat flowered orchid, so the roots are cut out so that nothing is sticking out, ugly seem reasons. This is not good for orchids, orchid Because it will cause stress even chance of developing the disease with a wound in the roots. move to a larger pot with good quality then it will look good and still blooming with beautiful.

Moving into a larger pot is related to the ability to absorb food in, the ability to retain moisture around the roots, the ability to grow a better place is not crowded enough.

4. Do not Make Sorting (Split) Clumps If Want to Keep Flower.

Some fans orchid orchid cultivation purpose mortar mix. For example, on one hand he wants to keep flowering orchid beautiful, but on the other hand he wants to be a lot of orchids, we perform the sorting clump (split). Yet with done sorting this family of orchids will cause longer to flowering. This is due to changes in physiological systems relating to the availability of food reserves, changes in hormonal system dominance in these orchids.

Therefore, if we wish we still blooming orchids so let it grow thick clumps, which is important we can provide optimal feeding and assisted by the hormone gibberellin then repeat blooming orchids will be able to properly every time you grow a new bulb, or each time a sufficient food reserve for flowering.

5. Genetic segregation for each section consisting of at least 6 bulbs.

Orchid is already very dense, then we must still provide an adequate place to grow a bigger pot. And to create a lush flower (flowering once composed a few flowers, then we can do the cutting grove but still let each part into position, remain still in one pot. This makes the roots are not damaged so as not to experience stress

By doing this family separation occurs physiologically, the segregation of individuals in every part of the grove, each of which will grow new shoots which in turn can generate interest. If we can sort into 4 sections, for example, then there is a possibility later on, once there are 4 flowers will bloom all at once.

For orchid plants that are old this is important to note is the dominance in these plants must domination hormone gibberellin and cytokinin. Therefore, we can add the combined Giberelin 8 mg / l and cytokinin 2 mg / l and auxin 0.5 mg / l. besides providing vitamins, fish oil and meal should be sufficient or  arguably quite a lot. We can provide Dekastar in the medium in considerable amounts. So your orchid will bloom lush and healthy.

Not too difficult and does not require specific ways to Caring For Orchids to grow lush and beautiful flower. By knowing the nutritional needs of Orchids, diligent and accuracy in the care Of orchid plants will get a charming and diligent flowering.

Orchid plants do not need fill sunlight intensity, respectively-each Orchids require different light intensity. Orchids need shade when it grows, the average Orchids Plants need sunlight intensity 20% - 60%. You can put Orchids on the terrace of the house, if it should be placed outside the home,make a shade or your can place it under the tree.

Your activities watering orchid plants is strongly influenced by media type cropping, crop size, crop type, temperature, humidity, air circulation, and the type of pots used. Use sprayer is highly recommended because of the intensity of the water with the use of the sprayer can be adjusted appropriately. Advisable to direct the sprayer to the roots of plants so as not to damage the flowers and leave of orchids. Frequency of watering tailored to type of orchid plants, Simpodial Orchids more resistant to drought ( just 1 - 2 watering a day ), for Monopodial Orchids require more frequent watering ( 2 - 3 times a day watering ).

There are 2 Phases of the growth of Orchid Plants.

Vegetative growth phase is the period of Orchid plants from seeding until the young Orchid plants.
Generative growth phase is when the Orchid plants begin grow up and are ready to produce flowers.
Vegetative phase, fertilizer should be used is a fertilizer that contains many elements of N, N element is the main ingredient for preparing a protein that is needed in the process of cell division, so that the Orchid plants can grow faster.
Generative phase, use fertilizers with higher P elements that stimulate flower formation process. Do not forget the gift vitamins and growth hormones.

A good fertilization through leaves, because leaves have a higher absorption that the roots. Used a liquid fertilizer and spray on leaves. The time to right to do fertilization is when the mouth of the leaves is open in the morning at 08.00 - 10.00 or afternoon at 15.00 - 17.00, so that absorption of liquid fertilizer faster.

The Beauty of the various type of Orchids have attracted many people to maintain it at home as an Ornamental plant. Currently, many kinds of Orchids are grown in bulk and you can buy it cheaply. How to choose an Orchids is good and suitable for decoration in your house?. Choosing Orchids suitable for the conditions at home should consider the environmental conditions for your Orchids can grow well. If you fill confused to determine suitable choice of Orchid, ASK THE SELLER. They will provide the best solution for type of Orchids that match your home environment. Usually the seller will provide practical tips Orchid Care in accordance with its type because every type of Orchids require different treatments. Of course you have to buy Orchids you like., love will make have more attention to the Orchids you buy.

If you buy, look for the Orchids, which has issues a new bud on the stem. Look at the leaves of an exiting condition, make sure the color is bright green and fresh. Do not select Orchids that infestation by insects or have a lot of sticky substance on the leaves ( NOT PURCHASED ). If you buy Orchids that have been flowering, check on the petals, should look fresh and no spots are not normal. Do not be fooled by the attractive packaging and look beautiful, be careful can potentially hide the problem. Check the overall condition of the plants which would you buy Orchids.

After buying Orchids that you want then you need to do is place the Orchids in the house are not exposed to direct sunlight. On the terrace, if you want to enable Orchids as ornamental plants. Next job is to perform maintenance, watering. You can do it in the morning and afternoon only,do not overboard when making a flush because it will cause deterioration of your Orchids. Changing the medium and pot can you do if had grown thick. But to changes or move that pot, if you Orchids plant is blooming. Provision of fertilizer can do with the right proportions and balanced in accordance with the needs of plants ( Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Iron ).

Finally, a time to sit down to a moment and enjoy the results of your work.
