How do you choose where to place orchids when growing them?

The one-word key to growing orchids is "air." From the choice of growing medium to deciding on a placement location, ventilation must be the first consideration. Some people sum up the habits of orchids in three sentences: they like sunlight but fear scorching; they like moisture but fear being waterlogged by rain; they like air movement but fear strong winds.

Based on the habits of orchids, the ancients summed up orchid growing in four sentences: "In spring, do not take them out; in summer, do not expose them to the sun; in autumn, do not let them dry out; in winter, do not keep them wet."

In winter and spring, orchids should be placed somewhere that both protects them from the cold and allows them to receive plenty of sunlight. In late spring, when the midday temperature is on the high side, doors and windows should be opened in good time for ventilation.

When placing them in summer and autumn, four points should be noted: first, pay attention to ventilation; second, pay attention to shading (during the hot season, about 70% of sunlight should be blocked), and it is best to put them somewhere that only gets sunlight before 10 a.m.; third, pay attention to rain protection (especially valuable varieties, which must not be rained on); fourth, protect against coal smoke.
