The advantages of balcony orchid cultivation are smooth air, abundant sunshine, and easy flowering. The disadvantages are that the light is too strong, the temperature is high, the water evaporates quickly, the orchid leaves are easy to be burned and banana leaves appear, and they are easily infected with anthracnose, soft rot and brown spot. So what should you pay attention to when raising orchids on the balcony?

1.Pay attention to shade, orchid grass likes shade, when raising orchids, it is necessary to consider the shade of orchids, you can plant some climbing plants on the balcony, such as creepers, etc., or triangular plums, etc., which can greatly reduce the illumination, but also beautify the balcony environment, both of both. In addition, if the balcony sits north and faces south, it is necessary to prevent the west from the sun.

The sun in summer is particularly strong, the heat is poisonous, and the bluegrass is the most taboo, so it is necessary to avoid the west as much as possible, and you can put a shade net on the west side; Or put a pot of two or three meters high evergreen plants such as orange trees, osmanthus trees, etc. on the west side of the balcony, which has a good shading effect.

2.Increase air humidity, balcony air flow is large, the temperature is high, the water evaporates quickly, the growth of orchid grass needs a certain amount of moist air, especially in summer to increase humidity. Put a few buckets on the balcony, or sprinkle more water on the floor, and if possible, you can install a humidifier.

3.Keep warm and cool, the temperature of the balcony is relatively low in winter, and it is easy to be damaged by the northwest wind and frost. If you spend the winter on the balcony, you should cover the balcony with a transparent agricultural film, which can protect against frost.

In the summer, it is necessary to consider cooling down, install wall fans on the wall to enhance air flow, and if you install a sprayer, it will be more effective.

4.Sterilization and disinfection, the balcony is exposed, the orchid grass is susceptible to outdoor germ infection, it is necessary to be sterilized and disinfected frequently, and we must pay attention to the sterilization of the orchid leaves; Second, we should pay attention to the disinfection of potting soil. Orchid leaf sterilization uses systemic pesticides, which can prevent the stomata of orchid leaves from being blocked; Potting soil disinfection can be done by using sodium disulfonate, thiophanate-methyl, chloramphenicol, and potassium permanganate to irrigate the roots.

The first thing to do is to choose some flowers that are particularly fond of sunlight; In addition, it is necessary to do a good job of frost protection and sun protection, because the wind on the balcony may be relatively strong, and the sun is too much, which will make the flowers wilt; Also water frequently to avoid lack of moisture in the flowers.

It is necessary to water more water to ensure that the soil is moist, usually do not leave it in the sun for a long time, which will make its leaves yellow, and also ventilate regularly, so that it can grow better.

Do not expose it to the sun, and occasionally keep it in a cool, dry place, as sun exposure will evaporate its moisture and cause yellowing of the leaves, and take special care of it.
