If you sun your orchid the wrong way, you may accidentally ruin a whole pot of orchids
An orchid potted forty days ago was left in the sun for half a day. As a result, all the leaves turned red. What should I do?
An orchid potted forty days ago should have successfully recovered from transplanting and started growing by now, so at this point it can take light. And in spring, when the light is relatively soft, it should be sunned even more.
But there is a misunderstanding here: if the orchid being cared for has always been kept in a shaded environment and is suddenly taken out to receive light, the ambient light changes abruptly and the leaves will discolor and become sunburned.
It is not only orchids. If other potted plants have always been kept in a shaded environment and are then suddenly put out in the sun for a day, the leaves are bound to get sunburned. So when taking potted flowers out into the sun, there must be a gradual process. First take them to a place with plenty of scattered light, then to a semi-shaded environment, and then to a full-sun environment, letting them gradually accept light. In this way, the leaves of potted plants will not be affected.
In fact, if we pay a little attention, we can know that wild orchids in the ground are all exposed to the sun. Especially in spring, when the surrounding grass and tree branches have not yet sprouted, the orchids happen to receive light and have already bloomed. So in spring, orchids should receive plenty of light, which is greatly beneficial to their blooming.
If the orchid leaves have been sunned until they change color, it is recommended to keep them in a shaded environment for a few days, then gradually move them to a place with plenty of scattered light, then to a semi-shaded environment, and let them gradually accept light. Just properly prune the seriously damaged leaves.
When sunning orchids, the method must be right and the "pose" must be good-looking; the more they are sunned, the more flowers they produce, but with the wrong pose they all wilt.
