Sunlight requirements for Kanran orchids
Kanran orchidCultivationThe most important thing is sufficient sunlight; ample sunshine is of great help to later growth. But avoid direct blazing sun and afternoon western exposure; generally, sunlight before 10 a.m. is more suitable. Therefore, when the light is strong, shade netting or bamboo blinds can be used to block the light and reduce its intensity.
To make the flower color of the red-flowered strains beautiful, the sunlight can be slightly increased; conversely, to make the blue-flowered strains produce beautiful flowers, the sunlight should be reduced.
When the flower buds have already emerged, it is best to place the orchid plant indoors in slightly weaker light. (You Chongkui)
