Sharing my experience with outdoor orchid cultivation, a record of growth in my natural orchid garden

Orchid growth and outdoor cultivation experience in my natural orchid garden http://www.zjorchid.com/bbs/dispbbs.asp?boardID=1&ID=32208&page=1 Be bold but careful, and don't let the blazing sun after rain scorch them. At night pull the net down to catch the dew, and don't water until they are dry. Treat fungus and pests promptly, spraying right after rain. The potting medium should be medium-coarse and well-draining: two packs of zhijinshi (orchid stone), one pack each of diwangshi (imperial stone), clay pebbles, and xiantu (immortal soil), plus a little bark. Or mix zhijinshi with the four-in-one blend and just plant them casually; of course the bottom layer should be coarse, and remember: better coarse than fine. When heavy rain comes, pull the net, and inside it becomes a fine drizzle or light rain; because these are new shoots, they are not afraid of rain but of being broken. In high temperatures use a double layer of net; if conditions allow, put on one layer and then pull another over it. I haven't bothered to do it carefully, and I feel a double layer combined together is a bit airless. Of course, it is very important not to pull the net all the way to the ground; always keep in mind: ventilation, ventilation, and more ventilation. Then you'll be fine, and diseases will be fewer. Below are my plants to share with fellow orchid friends; they are all old varieties, so please excuse the humble display. Sixi Die (Four Joys Butterfly) Related images for this topic are as follows:
